Manuscrypt II Sculpture

At the presented exhibition the form of Lapidarium meets the form of Meditatio, where the latter becomes the teacher of stillness. Reflecting on the topic of Meditatio I focused on the form of faces and feet. One can say that these are two extremes of the human body: a face, which we show to others and feet, which we usually hide in shoes. A face is the most expressive part of the human body and through meditations it can get very transformed, pacified. A peaceful face acts like a magnet. It seems that the mere contemplation of such a face can put us in the state of meditation. Whereas feet... in this context (the context of meditation) are to me the best description of stillness. Feet may occur in different systems, groups, colors but they do have one thing in common - the stillness. In Meditation, of course the whole body (through the word) is immersed in stillness but in case of feet this stillness is more overwhelming as, on daily basis, feet are "the most hectic." When they can finally rest, they become as if transformed and inactive. Yes, for me feet are a symbol of meditation. What’s more, they are also a symbol of meditation in movement, when we walk in a mindful way, paying attention to our steps. Touching the Earth in this way, we become closer to Heaven. Persevering in meditation through a word, we open ourselves to the Word. The third cycle - Manuscripts, which I call "written sculptures", is like a buckle connecting the two previous ones. The first cycle talking about the body and the second one talking about the body and the word that are united in the spirit, come together as one in the space where the word becomes flesh and the flesh becomes the word. The sculptural surfaces of Manuscripts - torsos, hands and faces - are full of words. We can read them like a book in the original languages ​​of Aramaic and Greek, but also in Latin and Polish. The emerging content consists of passages from the Bible that refer to the creation of man and that praise this Creation.
