I am an artist, I still feel my firm presence in the sky. I am alive and my soul is moving, beyond the surface of the earth in a layer above the layer of the dead city. I go where I create, freely and recklessly. I am going to where my roots are, between the skys and everything that is born of my mind, is suspended from the place of my creation. I will release and from now, life will flow somewhere outside the earth ... In order to explain this issue, Bryce Canyon National Park in the Utah region of the United States, has been selected. This nature in itself has high and narrow mountain ranges like giraffe legs and at the top of the peaks there are large rocks that are born from their bed, as awe-inspiring. We have taken these artists to the heart of these powers suspended in the sky so that they can freely and recklessly inspire and create. Salvador Dali Kalbod Studio: The main concept of the design is inspired by one of the masterpieces of the famous 20th century surrealist painter, Salvador Dali, called the Rhino. The Surrealist artists sought to channel the unconscious as a means to unlock the power of the imagination. Disdaining rationalism and literary realism, and powerfully influenced by psychoanalysis, the Surrealists believed the rational mind repressed the power of the imagination. Design Brief The idea of design is both a metaphor for the concept of the work, a concept that the painter has seen in his work, and a metaphor for the visual form that he has used in his painting. In Dolly’s opinion, the rhino is a prominent, remarkable animal and a symbol of roughness, strength and power. The rhino carries a space inside itself and a human on its back that is a symbol of absolute power. Although the force is brought from the earth, it moves on the giraffe-like thin legs in the sky. in the upper spheres one can see the mere power, the absolute power of God, symbolized by the light of truth shining through the clouds. The place we’ve seen for artists is a place that is uprooted and suspended in the sky. We have given the same power to the artist that Dali has seen for the rhino. The power that is created by weightlessness and releasing the artist's creations, and as a result, the creation of his mind. As Dolly knew the rhino horn was born and created from it. Artists are powerful because they create an artwork of the subconscious mind and add value to the world. Another issue that attracts attention in this dolly work is the space to see the structure of the rhino and the place it has seen for free human beings.
