Artwork description:

That artwork is inspired by the Bulgarian folk dance "Rachenica".
Rachenica is a traditional Bulgarian folk dance. The dance is performed by a group of couples in a circle and is accompanied by music from bagpipes and drums. The couples are linked by a handkerchief held in their hands and move in a circle, clapping and singing. The dance is usually performed at traditional festivals, weddings, and other celebrations.
Usually, the music is really fast, and only experienced dancers can play it well enough.
This evocative sculpture exudes a profound sense of longing and transcendence. With arms outstretched as if yearning for an embrace or perhaps taking flight, the figure's textured golden-bronze finish whispers tales of ancient memories and untold stories. The raw, earthy base grounds the ethereal spirit of the piece, creating a poignant juxtaposition between the earthly and the divine. It's a silent ode to resilience, hope, and the timeless journey of the soul.
