Innocent SIN

Edition: 1/6 – red

A bronze girl stands on a red glass cushion, her hands folded in front of her body and her gaze slightly averted. Her serious expression and restrained gesture lend the small figure a distinct individuality and a quiet sense of urgency. Paulina Skavova captures a fragile moment between natural trust and the need to protect one’s inner world.

The cushion introduces associations of comfort, safety, and intimacy. Its soft form acquires both solidity and vulnerability in glass, while the deep red accentuates the dark patina of the bronze figure. The tension between the two materials heightens the work’s sensitive emotional resonance.

The title Innocent SIN places innocence in close proximity to the idea of sin. In doing so, it raises the question of how our perception is shaped by naming, and how easily meanings from the adult world enter the simple presence of a child’s figure.
