Nearly everyone who saw this ceramic sculpture asked me: ‘why is the baby crying?’ It is a joy to see people trying to resolve the narrative puzzle. After all, it is rather obvious there is one. The baby is surrounded by three personified animals - a parrot, a rabbit and a butterfly – and the scene is reminiscent to a snapshot from a fairy tale. In fact, questions such as ‘why is the baby crying?’ led me to create a poem which would implicitly reveal my ideas and intentions behind the work. Hush, Little Baby, why do you cry? I don't want to be a king! This world is like a circus! Be obliged, commit to burdens... Act as if I'm harlequin! Dear Little Baby, what do you want? I want to stay in childhood And never grow up! Dear Little Baby, who will care for you? A spirit of a mother in a butterfly, Gentle and loving, always nearby! Dear Little Baby, who will play with you? A funny rabbit from a hat of magic And a witty parrot will keep me laughing! I'll get tangled in the music, That will be the only trouble! No more circus, no more acting, No more duties to be done! Hush Little Baby, don't you cry! Don't be afraid to rule YOUR kingdom. There is music, games and magic. It's a circus where everybody can have fun! From the beginning it is clear that the narrative is fictional and very similar to that of a fairy tale. I am drawn to that type of symbolism because it is far from reality of the surrounding world but can reveal many peculiar tendencies of the human thought. In this case, the desire to stay in childhood may associate with nostalgia for the time when one could live carefree. The sculpture is particularly fragile due to the relatively small scale, delicate details that are challenging the nature of the medium, and it being fired at a low temperature (1040°C). The sculpture has a crack at the bottom ‘carpet’ imitation. It was fired twice and coloured with under-glaze. I am open for offers. Happy viewing!

Through painting, drawing and ceramics, I am developing a fairy tale that symbolically reflects human experiences. I often draw inspiration from sweet and sentimental images that I spice up with delightful humour and playfulness. I came to realise that visual scenes and narratives which appear the most surreal are the closest reflections of our minds’ peculiar tendencies.
