,,Tandem,, Sculpture by Obreja Pavel

Sculpture: Metal, Stone, Bronze on Bronze, Stone.

Tandem - two systems that work together… In this case it is about the hands, when one goes down, the other gets up and vice versa. We notice in one hand a light bulb as a symbol of idea, discovery, invention, creation, and the other is held by the hair, ie it would destroy itself if the hand goes down. The idea is that when one hand creates, the other destroys. Any invention would not be made, it has both a positive and a negative effect on people, even a simple thing, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, for what purpose it was made and how many had and will suffer because of this catastrophe… so , everything is in our hands! and if we notice this figure is stylized with great contrast of elements on it, from perfect details like the mirror to broken shapes, these are the feelings and if we ask ourselves when will this end? This figure, a woman, is pregnant, so as long as others are born, this Tandem will exist!
