In this sculpture, I tried to capture the elusive moment that takes place in the life of every girl: the transformation of her body into a feminine body. The girl in the sculpture is standing on her head. Her legs are flailing in the air for support while her hair roots her into the ground.

​

For me, this work is a visualization of my own childhood, in which I could think upside down and thus question the laws of nature and physics. The girl in the sculpture functions as a sort of antithesis to the Kore (archaic Greek statues of adolescent figures) that stand almost motionless, with the exception of her rare smile.
