Author's bronze sculpture "Protect your inner world"

This is an original bronze sculpture made in expressive plastic, emphasizing the fragility and vulnerability of human inner space. The image of a man sitting on the floor and pressing his palms to his eyes is conveyed through exaggerated, rounded shapes that create an almost childish feeling of defenselessness. The soft lines of the body, carefully crafted by hand, form smooth transitions of light over the patinated surface of the bronze, giving the figure a feeling of warmth and a lively presence.

The sculptor Igor Volozhanin executed this series in the key of metamodernism — with a reference to antiquity, but with deliberate deformation and simplification of the form. The figure is devoid of the usual anatomical structure, but retains its plastic expressiveness. The author abandoned secondary elements and colors, reducing everything to bronze monochrome, thereby enhancing the volume, density of the image and its emotional resonance. Conciseness here is not poverty, but concentration. The context has been updated, but the mythological core has been preserved.

The work is intended for an intelligent collector who is able to read deep cultural codes, see the idea behind the plastic, and the drama behind the irony. It is an object that evokes a response and at the same time leaves room for interpretation. Sculpture is appropriate in an interior where a dialogue of form and thought prevails, where every thing carries meaning, not just status. It is not explained, but experienced.
