Hedgehog

"Trigger Globes" series In collaboration with Nadiya Petrovska Edition 1/12 Concrete, glass, plastic, acrylic, liquid. Its full name is "Czech hedgehog". For the first time, they appeared exactly where you thought, dear reader, in Czechoslovakia, and were mass-produced during the Second World War. They gained their most popularity in the Soviet Union. So when the full-scale invasion in Ukraine began, a large number of hedgehogs were simply drawn out from local historical museums. Its use is most effective in cities: one such product can block an entire street. Emotional triggers do exactly the same. Everyone of us naturally strives for freedom, for exploration, knowledge, creativity and love. But it happens that moving along the roads of life, we notice that some directions are blocked. When the war is over, or even sooner, we will be able to look back, to the past, and reevaluate all the tragic events that happened to us. We will understand that each traumatic experience taught us something important and valuable. Then we will be ready to thank it and let it go - this will be the moment of healing. Moreover, we will be able to do this with all our "hedgehogs" and blocks of concrete, even if they have been lying there for the last 50 years.
