Author's sculpture "Inhale"

The sculpture "Inhale" is not a thing for the interior, but for the interior space. The futuristic molded plastic surface, polished to a mirror-like shine, reflects not only light, but also states. Each movement of the form is a wave of air drawn into the chest. The work seems to freeze between matter and emptiness, between what was and what is just beginning to be born. It is designed for attentive, almost intimate contemplation. For those who have learned to hear silence.

The aesthetics of the object evokes associations with the primary breath of nature, with the very moment when everything around stops to give way to a new impulse. The soft, flowing folds of the reflective surface form elusive contours in which breathing muscles, landscape reliefs, and fragments of memories are discernible. The sculpture lives in the rhythm of the viewer — it changes depending on the angle of view and lighting, like a breath filling the body with warmth.

Today, it is more important than ever to interact not only with the outside world, but also with oneself. Here is a segment of your meditation, a daily reminder that sometimes you need to focus on yourself. Breath. Look at the first job. Turn your gaze inward. It is important to feel how the air and attention are concentrated on you, inside, before returning back to the outside world.
