Escape (1984)
The three-piece composition of a kneeling old woman and a young mother with a baby in her arms is a sculpture made of one piece of wood. Faces are carved in great details, what is typical. It expresses suffering of those who, as unwanted, find themselves on the run from their home.
The statue does not have the author's signature. The statue also contains the original handwritten label with the title of the work and the year. It is supplemented by a label with the author's name, address and title.
Height: 47 cm
Width: 18 cm
The statue comes from the collection of OZ Jekhetane-Spolu.
