Woman with Birds

A figure in cast metal, a woman with birds, standing in public space in Vilnius with no plinth-level fanfare and no crowd around it.

Sculpture of this kind was ordinary infrastructure in the Soviet city — commissioned, placed, and then simply present, in the way a bus shelter is present. Most of it was neither celebrated nor removed after 1991. It just stayed, and is now slowly becoming something people notice again.
