Candylady is, at first glance, an absolutely innocent, but very seductive and domineering creature from the Planet of Addictions, who did not happen to be there by chance at all. She claims to be the epitome of happiness, as she brings joy to others, both in moments of sadness, despair and stress, and when everything is fine, being a wonderful companion. She is so convincing in her arguments and actions that everyone turned out to be in her magical power, which was by no means innocent. Candylady is the personification of the most widespread and insurmountable addiction – sugar, which few people recognize and even fewer of those who struggle with it. Candylady is like air — you almost don't notice it while it's there. We have accustomed ourselves to it by falling in love with Candylady for hundreds of thousands of years.

Candylady sculpture was presented at the international contemporary Art fair Cosmoscow 2021
