About the artworkSometimes Susanna Jablonski’s sculptures remind the viewer of everyday things, while other works involve fragile materials shaped into abstract objects. Their physical construction often pushes the boundaries of what is possible. The piece Dov can be perceived as both real and alien at the same time. The sculpture appears as something imagined rather than depicted from reality. Dov consists of a basket-woven arched form, clad in a shimmering blue feather dress. Dov was the Hebrew name that Jablonski’s paternal grandfather abandoned when he arrived in Sweden after the war as a holocaust survivor. In Swedish the word dov can mean both a subdued atmosphere or a muted tone, a sense which resonates quietly in the piece.
