Does external beauty always guarantee internal beauty? What do you find most important in another person? Or perhaps there is nothing but emptiness in there? Maybe all that glitters is not gold…
Searching for beauty in another person is a great but also risky adventure. To check what is hidden behind the beautiful facade, we have to look inside by moving complicated puzzles. Will it end in success or in disintegration? What will we find there: truth, beauty or emptiness?
„Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play”…
Can love pass away? Is it only a game of illusion? An easy game rather than an everlasting promise? Do you rebel against an opinion that love is only a short term play? Have all the important values become relative and impermanent?
Do you go into the same mainstream river with others? Do you appreciate what makes you different from others? Are you following the expectations and patterns of your times? Are you afraid of being unfashionable?
Three graces is a timeless topic taken up by artists in various epochs. We know their performances from the Greeks through Rubens, Canova and many others. They were often an expression of the ideal of the female body and the canon of a given era.
What relationships you have with others?
What are you aiming for in those relationships? Do you care for them? Are they long lasting and meaningful?
Do you engage with them with honesty and awareness?
What sort of man are you? How do you percive a woman? Do you fully accept her complexity?
Have you ever dreamed about a body part without thinking about a woman as a whole? Do you find those values important? Or do you only see small fragments, like thought bubbles in a comic book? Have you ever put your eyes on a single bodypart, judging it without realising that it belongs to someone?
Do you look for your own reflection in another person?
How do you perceive yourself?
Are you your own mirror or do you look for your reflection in other people? What if your mirror is a distorting one and if creating your personality and working on your own progress can only be possible through a relationship with another person?
+ Dreaming of him II
Don't we make torsos out of people?
Taking shortcuts without taking them as they are? Whether the relationship with the torso is possible or rather makes everything break in the end. It makes us fall apart.
The sculpture "dreaming of him" was inspired by the painting by Roy Lichtenstein "Thinking of him", my Greek goddess replaced a teary American blonde dreaming about her wealthy gentleman in an elegant suit.
