Description of work: “The act of kissing” functions in almost every culture as an evidence of a positive feeling. Especially between two lovers. The moment of kissing should be understood deeper, as an evidence of complex construction of human relations.
The installation titled “The act of kissing” is about deep feeling. I put two nudes (feminine and male) one the columns. The symbolic meaning of these objects was essential for the whole work, and its varied interpretations. The very important part of the compositions are small fragile lips. I carved them in natural dimension. I used material which suits the best to the topic. The lips are inside the nudes.
The sculpture is about mature feelings being the base for long relationship. Naked bodies are pure. But relationship without passion between two lovers becomes dry and cold. Kisses symbolize passion and emotions that should be part of our lives even after many years after decision of being together. |
