The sculpture "Manuscript", made of white chamotte clay, is one of several sculptures from the series "Manuscripts". Its surface is marked with black text in Greek that runs along the entire body.
This unique composition not only refers to the ancient culture of Hellas, but also pays tribute to the human form, its beauty and proportions, which were highly valued by the Greeks. The text in Greek reminds us of the deep admiration that the ancients had for the human body - its harmony, aesthetics and spirituality.
However, "Manuscript" is not only a nod to the past. This sculpture is also a manifesto of the individuality and uniqueness of each person. The text marking it, like a manuscript on parchment, symbolizes the history written on the body. Each word, each letter tells about the spiritual and physical unity of human existence.
"Manuscript" is my encouragement to notice and appreciate your own individuality. The body depicted in this sculpture is not only a biological form, but also a carrier of spiritual depth and personal history. We carry our lives and its events written on our bodies, just like the text on this sculpture. Each of us, like this male torso, carries invisible manuscripts imprinted on our bodies like tattoos - testimonies of our experiences, emotions and sensations that make us unique.
This sculpture is an invitation to reflect on the broadly understood beauty of the body and its spirituality. It encourages us to look at ourselves from a new perspective, to see our own value and uniqueness. In a world where we often strive for uniformity, "Manuscript" reminds us of the strength and beauty that lies in our uniqueness.
"Manuscript" is therefore not only an artistic expression, but also a philosophical meditation on the essence of human nature. This is a work that calls us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, through the prism of our own unique identity which contributes to the history of life on Earth.
