Pregnant Figure I. The Beginning. From Pregnant Series "After Death Comes Life"

Story

The shell casings embedded in the sculpture were brought to Maria from various regions of Ukraine. The thorns were collected by the artist together with her husband on the Arabat Spit near Kerch, still unoccupied at the time - on a shoreline she visited before her pregnancy. She remembers looking at the horizon, seeing distant lights through the haze, whispering to her relatives, dreaming of returning home. After coming back to Kyiv, she conceived.

The photographs of the work were taken by Andrey Avdeenko.
