"Voyeur" is a sculpture that sets out to provide one of the links in the love symbolism of the ‘key-lock’ sequence – the artifact of visualizing a love affair.

I, however, paint the ordinary modest women, who are busy taking the usual care of their bodies… It is like watching them through a key-hole.” In this sculpture the watcher, having previously been in the dark, turns into a certain link in the love chain and becomes an artifact. In the present triad of key, lock and keyhole, every symbol acquires its own meaning in time and shape. - per Vladimir Kush "Vladimir Kush was born in Russia, in a one-story wooden house near the Moscow forest-park Sokolniki.
