"Art has a function of depicting the social spirit, culture and viewpoint of the origins to which it belongs. The interpretation of it is left to the viewer who interacts, sometimes in a way diverse or removed from that originally intended by the artist. So the sculpture becomes a visible language through which to translate feelings and reach out to other audiences."
