About This Work
"Pioneer Girl" is me as a child, frozen between earth and sky. This girl with a cloud instead of a face was born from memories of that moment when, at ten years old, I first crossed the threshold of an art studio. Then my face dissolved in the fog of possibilities, while my body remained firmly on the ground — like a pioneer, ready for a journey into the unknown. The cloud passes through her, making visible what is usually hidden: the moment of a child's transformation into an artist.
Bronze here is not accidental — it is a material of eternity, capable of holding the fleetingness of a cloud. The patina creates a play of light and shadow, as if the girl is constantly in motion between worlds. She is simultaneously a monument to Soviet childhood and a portal to the infinity of creativity. At Divot restaurant, where flesh becomes the art of gastronomy, my "Pioneer Girl" reminds us: we were all once pure potential, ready to dissolve into our dreams.
