Masquerade, 2019, Milevsko Masquerade Museum

This sculpture was commissioned by the town of Milevsko. The task was to design an artifact for the square in front of the entrance to the locally renowned Maškar Museum, which would also serve as a prominent attraction to the museum. The carnival masquerade tradition with medieval roots transformed into a phenomenon in the town in the mid-19th century, and thanks to local enthusiasts, it remains a vibrant and widely beloved folk festival to this day. I conceived the sculpture as a bench as well. To capture the essence of a procession, I created a double-sided bench with three stylized figures on each side, each carrying two faces of traditional folk masks (Clown/Woman, Bacchus/Wine God, Death, Animal/Devil).
