Artist's Comments

In our work we explore the individual perception of surroundings. Ordinary items get a different aesthetic and content by being reduced to their essentials.

Monument for a Servant contains an outdated refrigerator. By removing all functional parts the fridge is reduced to a minimal form. Being elevated onto a concrete block, he becomes a monolith - an authority.

Like a general on a horse statue from another century, here the time specific color refers to a hero of a more recent past.

He served decades in a household, was discarded without honor and replaced by a new appliance.
