An abstract sculpture, alluding in its form to the shape of a spindle. This is the artist’s third work from the Spindles series. The piece was created in the sculptor’s studio at the Zosin estate in Otrębusy. Like the other three similarly sized works of the same title in the artist’s oeuvre to date, this work is one of her pinnacles of abstract sculpture – both through its synthetic, even ascetic form, and the universal values inscribed in it – notably absolute beauty.
