File size:  2.33 MB

Stanislovas Kuzma’s sculpture Earth depicts a woman. Her face and hands are cast in bronze. The mask-like quality of the face lends the work a sense of theatricality, yet also of ritual solemnity.

With a caring gaze, the woman looks downwards. Her face is strikingly beautiful, her hands graceful. She appears perfect.

The figure’s body is formed by layered folds of a broad garment and a hood drawn over her head. The attire recalls a monastic cloak.

The sculpture radiates an atmosphere of stillness, care, and contemplation.
