About the Item

This figurative outdoor sculpture in female form is forged in bronze and stainless steel. Galina Stetco used her own body as a model for the mould of this compelling and poignant life-size sculpture. It depicts a female form, crouching, head bowed, and arms outstretched with open hands. The sculpture’s exterior appears cracked and ‘torn’—the gaping wounds are intended to symbolize the heartwrenching trauma of uprooting and exile that immigrants can endure. A small purple colored rose at the heart of the woman signifies the beginning- a ‘blossoming’ of a new life. One of a series. If commissioned time for production: 1.5 - 2 months “I am an outsider. I feel separated from the world, from the past, and even the present, but not the future. I’m holding in my hands something I must keep for the future. What is humanity thinking?” Galina Stetco “Je suis une autre. J'ai le sentiment que je me suis échappée du monde, du passé, même du présent, mais pas du futur. Je tiens quelque chose entre mes mains pour lequel je dois rester, pour demain. Pour ce qui me reste à faire. Quoi qu’en pense l’humanité.” Galina Stetco Galina Stetco was born in Moldova in 1975 and first attended art school at the tender age of 10, receiving her first diploma at age 13. In 2000, she graduated from the Technical University of Moldova with a degree in architecture. She emigrated to Canada in 2003 and has since lived in the greater Montreal area. In 2011, she dedicated herself full-time to working as an artist and started sculpting in 2013. Galina Stetco’s work can be found in public and private collections in Canada, the US, Saudi Arabia, Moldova, Italy, Switzerland and Egypt.
