The exhibited work is a heroic bust carved out of limestone, where failure and beauty go hand in hand. Showing a working process, allowing the observer to witness every single step. On its shiny, immaculate surface, one can find porous parts and cracks. This detail of imperfection might have been provoked or resulted from an unintentional sculpting incident - the answer to this phenomenon stays unresolved.
"What is light without shadow, what is calm without storm? My work reflects the multifaceted nature of human existence - powerful and colorful, yet melancholic and dystopian, all at the same time. In doing so, I work with reverse psychology. The louder the colors and tones, the more calm a work appeara. It leads us to the reality - everything we hold in us: light and dark, good and evil. The opposites live in us and we live them. This realization calms us. There is no more struggling and dithering - what is, that is, what will be, that will be. The light is not all good. As well, the dark is not all bad." – Tobias Vetter
