MY ALIEN (2024) 彫刻 Yuriy Musatov によって

The MY ALIEN sculpture, crafted in a style reminiscent of ancient busts, carries profound symbolism associated with the theory of paleocontact. This theory posits that extraterrestrial beings might have influenced the development of human civilization in ancient times. The absence of eyes and a mouth draws attention to the figure's silent testimony to the unknown, symbolizing a higher level of knowledge inaccessible to the human mind.

The sculpture’s white color emphasizes its purity and mystery, evoking associations with secret knowledge communicated beyond words or images. Its placement on a pedestal elevates it above the mundane, signifying its importance and potential divinity within the context of ancient cultures.

This sculpture can be interpreted as a reference to the idea that the beings depicted in religious and mythological texts of the ancient world might have had real extraterrestrial prototypes. It raises the question: Could what we consider distant and alien be a reflection of our own history, hidden in the shadows of civilizations that may once have been our teachers? The sculpture serves as a reminder that humanity has always sought connections with higher powers and, perhaps, has already experienced such contact in the distant past.
