SCULPTURE & CONCEPTUAL OBJECTS

Hope

Concept: The conceptual object «Hope» operates as an interdisciplinary investigation into the metaphor of light as an internal coordinate and an existential threshold. The composition relies on a harsh architectonic and tactile contrast: the lower stream of the work is woven from dense, light-absorbing black wool—symbolizing a landscape of memory or a primal void through which delicate, shimmering star-sparks break through. 

The sacred visual epicenter features an incrusted, gilded «eye» assembled from shards of shattered mirror glass, hand-inscribed with English micro-calligraphy (letters and prefixes fragmenting into lexemes like world, celebrity, and care) interwoven with a binary digital code (0 and 1). Deconstructing the myth of Pandora’s box, the mirror mosaic fractures the spectator’s reflection, forcing a personal re-assembly amid digital and mental noise. The technical reverse side turns into a hidden artistic gesture, stabilized by black lace with gold luteous threads—functioning as a metaphorical «underside of the soul

Hope (The Metaphysical Triad: Panel I)

Concept: Conceived as a monumental, double-sided 3D altar, «Faith» grounds and anchors the triad’s mental environment through an uncompromising tectonic gesture. A vertical pillar of displaced granite blocks supports a pristine white marble slab, crowned by a raw fracture of stone incrusted with a genuine 0.10-carat diamond. The gem serves as a direct sacred metaphor for faith «the size of a mustard seed»—a minute point of absolute light capable of shifting mountains. 

At the base, a sweeping floor installation of hundreds of scattered mirror fragments symbolizes a split human psyche and fragmented experience. The background features a wooden shield patinated by the smoke of ritual candles. The reverse side entirely subverts perception: the sacred soot is replaced by a matte black chalkboard, inviting the spectator to leave a fragile, erasable trace of thought with a piece of chalk, transforming the altar into an evolving spiritual node

Concept: The kinetic sculpture «Love» concludes the triad, focusing on anthropological vulnerability and interactive linguistic codes. Three natural granite cubes rest on a marble slab, supporting a floating bowl made of white clay inspired by shell morphologies—directly extending the conceptual universe of The Shell series. The shell operates as an ambivalent structure: both a sacred sanctuary protecting the fragile self and a restrictive armor. 

The fractures of the bowl are bound with gold leaf and fragmented mirrors following a calculated reinterpretation of the Kintsugi philosophy: love is imperfect, yet every fracture turns into a «golden lesson» of experience. The base functions as a kinetic generator of meaning: a letter matrix spellings out the word LOVE on the central granite module, flanked by the symbols I (I) and U(You). By rotating the modules, the spectator cyclically rearranges the vectors of personal pronouns (I love you, You love me) and global contexts embedded in the micro-calligraphy (from World and Natura to Cell), manifesting love as a fluid yet fundamental axis of human survival.
