Black Dove, Steel Wires, 67x34x25,2022
The Black Dove, portraying a peace dove and a figure in movement, is made of thin steel wires bent around a steel rod. The color black, as opposed to the universal symbol of the white peace dove, was chosen to depict the tragic world situation. The acrobat holding up the peace dove symbolizes that people must unite to make the world a better place. The interplay between the two sides of the sculpture is an expression of coexistence, connection and the hope for peace, freedom and equality.
