An angel with his head raised questioningly is waiting for the wind that will push his boat along the flow of time. Maybe it’s a kind of pause or a calm before something important. In this sculpture, every viewer is free to fantasize, guess the meaning. Art can touch those strings that you didn’t even know existed.
The melancholic image of the messenger carved from Beloretsky quartz gives a lyrical mood to the composition and at the same time emphasizes its symbolic, disembodied nature in contrast with the conventional boat made of jet.
