Pillar
Egor Zigura - Installations
The key to creating change is to recognize and embrace your freedom. Those who are truly free can help others escape from the grip of limitations. A group of strong independent people can instill these feelings in the hearts of others. Society is built of solid bricks that create the unwavering pillar of the revolution. This pillar is made of paving stones and this building material acquires new meaning in the context of confrontation and standoff. This art project symbolically portrays the constant struggle.
The paving stones are usually laid horizontally and being flat, but here it transforms into a vertical tower, which symbolizes life challenges. For now it is a shaky structure built on human dreams and hopes. And we must not allow the recurrence of turmoil like the one in the legend of the Tower of Babel.
