For my statue entitled “release” I started out from the concept of death full of light (meditative death), but, at the same time, this death can also be symbolic: it might represent the release of our self in a negative sense – our ego. I did not consciously differentiate between the real or symbolic nature of death in the statue. We enter the World with empty hands, and that is how we leave it behind. The fact that the nude was composed on a base unpolished by modern tools can be considered as placing the statue in a contemporary setting
