Wood, plywood, LED and fluorescent lamps. 2013.
Size: 300 × 500 × 60 cm
This sculpture is dedicated to Valentina Tereshkova’s legendary spaceflight on July 16, 1963. She was the first woman to become an astronaut. Her call sign in space was “This is Seagull!”, so popular tradition knows her by this name.
The Seagull resembles both an angel, and a delta. I chose wood for this sculpture as it has an inner life of its own, and it is capable of resistance. I like this medium. It leaves some space for mistakes, and that is incredible and precious in our time when virtual reality with its artificial perfection advances in every direction.
