Expectant (2020) Original Mixed-media Sculpture by Nadiia Otriazha

The artwork is part of the Leggy Women series.

I appreciate simple, natural, and bionic forms, but I understand that not all viewers, including some fellow artists, may fully grasp them. To avoid self-absorption in my art, I aimed to connect with art enthusiasts. Reflecting on this, I realized that the human body is the most familiar and relatable aspect for people. Consequently, I developed a module consisting of silhouettes of legs and a head to establish a connection between my art and the audience.

The piece is crafted from pear wood, with its metal elements constructed from naturally oxidizing steel. Consequently, the sculpture may undergo visual changes over time, acquiring a unique patina. Please note that due to its natural wood composition, the sculpture may also experience alterations over time.
