About the project (provided by the applicant)
The art object titled Gesture is a monumental sculpture of a hand with an open palm, on one of the fingers of which a paper dove is perched. The sculpture stands 3.2 meters tall.
The composition refers to Christian and cultural symbolism: a raised right hand with an open palm is a gesture of blessing, strength, power, and protection. The dove represents the pursuit of goodness, spiritual purity, and harmony.
The choice of material and minimalist execution give the sculpture a contemporary appearance, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the urban environment. The object invites reflection on the role of gestures and symbols in our lives.
