Yevgen Prymachenko.The First Step

Each long journey starts small, with the single first step. The sculpture embodies the moment that gives rise to action. The figure of a child in dynamic movement symbolizes courage, determination and the beginning of a new journey.
Despite simplistic forms, the figure brims with inner tension: the body is already in movement while the next moment remains indeterminate. It is an image of the moment when anxiety and doubt give way to the determination to move forward.
The sculpture symbolizes the moment at the very beginning. The simple but confident forward movement is the beginning of a long journey, the first step towards dreams, ideas and change. It embodies the establishment of a sculpture park as the space of creativity, dialogue and inspiration.
The First Step is about the courage to begin.
