Stingray
Sculpture by Teodora Sarbinska (Bulgaria)

"Let your dreams be bigger than your fears. And may your actions speak louder than words.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Quiet" is part of my "Island of Contemplation" project, which I have been working on for several years. The project includes primed textile works that have participated in numerous exhibitions.
I consider my works to be the fruit of the soul's desire to take a breath, they are my joy and freedom. Every stitch, every stroke is gratitude that I have eyes, that I have hands, that I have life and love. I strive for my creations to bear the marks of simplicity, but also of nobility. I want to convey feelings of flight, lightness, freedom, silence, immersion, tranquility, peace...
For me, contemplation is a process that brings hypersensitivity. It is not an escape from reality, but an attempt to create at least a tentative balance between the perception of the world and the world itself, between knowledge of life and life itself.

Sculpture from primed textile, author's technique.
126/120/15 cm

Pliers, a needle and a brush were enough for me :)

For the creation of the sculpture, with care for nature, I used recycled materials - steel wire, fabric, through which I achieved the shape I wanted. The work is primed and tinted with paints, leftovers from production.
