PUȘCAȘU Mircea, Chișinău, Republic of Moldova
The three vertical elements, inclined and converging, form a gesture rather than a closed shape. They do not describe an object, but an intention: climbing.
Transcendence is not achieved, but sought. Three pillars support a common tension. None is self-sufficient. Transcendence emerges from the relationship: between matter and spirit, individual and community, earth and sky.
The vertical element in the center, more stable, functions as a witness or a pillar of meaning. It does not dominate, but keeps the structure in balance. It is what remains when the movement stops.
The low, circular base, almost buried in the grass, represents the terrestrial plane. From it rises the vertical effort, showing us that without roots, there is no overcoming.
Transcendence does not deny the earth, but starts from it. Transcendence is a sculpture about the vertical tension of man: the desire to transcend without breaking the connection with the ground. It shows the sky, but the direction.
