 “Seed of Hope” is a sculptural story told within a mighty rock with a history spanning several millennia.  The rock’s outer surface is colorful and rich from its origins from the earth’s land, the sun and water.  Tsovinar has precisely calculated and carved an organic cavity at the top of this massive stone, in order to capture the sun’s light within.  She placed the stone so that it generates a large shadow section on one side.  When the sun’s light penetrates the carved organic cavity at 10:00, it “meets” the glazed bronze seed, the marriage of which beautifully symbolizes the powerful connection of the Light to Life itself.

HOPE GROWS WHERE LIGHT IS GIVEN

The French sculptor Falconet said “It is necessary for a sculpture to stand out against its background and to declare itself far away from the space within which it is seen.”
