For Dolní Břežany, a place with rich history and growing scientific and technical potential, I decided to create a sculpture that would tribute to the vitality of the village which believes in its developement and bright future. The sculpture should reflect the legacy of the village with its geometric and plastic features, characterized by lightness, light, balance and dynamics. If I want to start with the subject of technology, I see the circular shapes as the starting point. The principles of technical devices are often based on rotation around some axis or they transmit images, light or rays (such as laser). I see the circle as a symbol of functionality and dynamics that drive us forward. The sculpture can be reminiscent of wings that are about to take off. The intersection of the two circles can also symbolize the bond which is necessary whenever a group of individuals aims to build something important together.
