The sculptural composition resembles a string that connects the material and the spiritual.
The image of a beautiful, graceful girl personifies the ideal of human development. The sculptor depicts his vision of the purpose of life. Drawing strength from Mother Nature, training the body, a person strives for the world of ideas, light and beauty – to the supramundane worlds of the Spirit.
The sculptor emphasizes this idea with openwork patterns that connect the girl with the world of matter and the sphere of the heavenly – spiritual, resembling wings.
A person is called to become perfect both physically and spiritually, in order to harmoniously unite the earthly and heavenly in himself.
