“Pleasure”, 2023
Ielizaveta Portnova
Can be displayed outdoors.
"The model of this sculpture was made in Ukraine in 2020. After the start of the war, I took it with me to France. I covered the body of the statue with decals of André Bretin's verses, "Ainsi va la vie". The story of the poet and that of this statue find a common echo. In front of this sculpture, I feel that thanks to creation I was able to choose life and fight to continue it. The surface of the sculpture is also covered with Vivaldi's scores, a tribute to my happy memories in Italy, memories of a carefree past.“
