Václav Havel: Truth and love must triumph over lies and hatred.

This legendary statement of Havel's continues to carry not only a moral imperative, i.e. a form of recommendation or example of commitment, but despite its seemingly utopian message, it is a fundamental human idea and aspiration.

The vision for the building itself was conceived in 2012 and was not realised at the time for many reasons. However, its basic idea has remained unchanged, i.e. when the human (Havel's) voice metaphorically, but in its 3D representation, penetrates impermeable walls, concrete barriers, etc. That is, through some kind of internal and external barriers, misunderstandings.

This symbolic process of breaking down the walls of evil with the power of the voice, with the power of non-violence, with the power of understanding, with the power of togetherness, thus carries the ethos of freedom and value responsibility. It also evokes the capacity of human good will not to shrink from evil and, on the contrary, to help resolve the misunderstandings that arise, to be heard. Negate aggression, humiliation, contempt, or various surviving evil atavisms in their extreme forms.

It is a message that holds our civilization against all manifestations of hatred past, present and future.

The topic of infinity or begininglessness, or God forbid, centrelessness has long been a provoking element of the author’s works. The work on sculptures dealing with this subject is infinite in some ways, thus revealing even one of the mental essentials of the work. A sculpture made of high-grade polished steel, as if it was even more multiplied. With its surface capable of reflecting the outside world in direct dependence on the outside world, regardless of the surrounding world, but with reflection on itself, the object is a beautiful example that a great deal of things around us is something completely different from what might seem at first glance.
