Step into the dreamworld of the "Déjà Vu" sculpture, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. As we circle this bronze composition, we can explore its layers from different perspectives, each revealing new secrets.

At first glance, the wing-like forms evoke the face of a dreaming boy, who with closed eyes and an open mouth, plunges into the unknown. Is this face a reflection of dream or reality? The smooth surface of the bronze and its flowing forms suggest that the fall and flight occur simultaneously, that letting go and rebirth are two sides of the same coin.

As we move behind the sculpture, viewing it from another angle, the shapes recall the head of a dolphin calf just emerging into the world. This is the moment of birth, a new beginning. But is this beginning also ours to take? Or perhaps a reminder that we all carry the potential for rebirth within us?

Walking around the sculpture, we notice that the forms continually change as if coming to life. The interplay of the face and wings, the undulation of the forms, prompt us to ask questions of ourselves and the world: What is it that we see? What does this creation want to tell us? And most importantly, what does it awaken within us?

As we immerse ourselves in the sight of the sculpture, we can feel the creator's message permeate us. Life is constantly changing, never static, and it is in this flux that we find ourselves. "Déjà Vu" reminds us that life is full of secrets waiting to be discovered, that at every moment we have the opportunity to see the world with new eyes.

Let this sculpture touch your soul, stepping into the unknown where questions are more important than answers. Perhaps the essence of true art lies in awakening questions within us, prompting us to contemplate the deeper meaning of our existence.
