In the Abyss sculpture a human figure is crushed through a black hole. The human figure in the abyss is simulating Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of Vitruvian Man. Leonardo's picture represents a cornerstone in attempts to relate man to nature. During the Renaissance it was believed that the workings of the human body to be an analogy for the workings of the universe. In my Abyss sculpture man disappears into an unprecedented darkness.
Sculpture is in Wihuri Foundation collection at Rovaniemi Art Museum.
