The observer/man with egg (selfportrait), 2012, wood, plaster, glass
<     >
The sculpture Man with Egg can be seen as a philosophical self-portrait.
The viewer looks at the work from above and sees the figure of a man staring in amazement at a newly discovered form.
Admiration for natural phenomena is the thought from which this work originates.
The figure can only suspect or imagine the origin of the form.
The viewer sees that origin in the mold within the glass space.
