About the place

Passer-by:

– Your legend is beautiful and sad – about the sister who rescued her brothers after they had been turned into ravens.

Sculpture:

– The patience and self-sacrificing love of a woman, a sister, can free enchanted forest brothers, brothers from prison camps and all people bewitched by evil – that was the conviction of the sculptor who created me, Dalia Matulaitė.

Passer-by:

– You remind me of a three-armed Indian deity. Why do you have three arms instead of two?

Sculpture:

– Close your eyes and imagine. This is the very moment of transformation, when the youngest brother’s second little arm is about to appear. Then another brother’s, and another, until a whole forest of brothers’ arms rises around me. Imagine it: the miracle is happening in your imagination – all the enchanted brothers of the world regain human form. War disappears. People stand like a green, rustling forest.
Sculptor Dalia Matulaitė loved fairy tales and the myths of the world. She considered herself a baptised pagan.

Passer-by:

– I saw two other works by this sculptor in the park – “Rain Cloud” and “Wandering Lake”. I liked the bull carrying an enormous lake on its back the most.

Sculpture:

– There is a sculpture in Klaipėda that I call my sister. Her face looks very much like mine. It is the giant Neringa standing on a pedestal near the Old Market. She carries ships on her shoulders.

Passer-by:

– “I went out to Lithuania. There were birds, women and the wind,” wrote the poet Sigitas Geda.

Sculpture:

– Sigitas Geda wrote, and sculptor Dalia Matulaitė carved.
