Levon Tokmajyan is the sculptor, and we understand little about sculptures - Anna Hakobyan

The photographs feature works by world-renowned artists. Some are self-portraits where they appear almost unrecognizable, or maximally distorted and ugly; others are sculptures and compositions. One is titled 'Family,' another 'The Walking Man,' a third 'Man in Motion,' and a fourth 'The King and Queen,' and so on. This was written by Anna Hakobyan, the Prime Minister's wife.

'Everyone is distorted, ugly, incomprehensible. None of these objects can be identified by our non-artistic eyes. When we say 'man,' we envision a person with a familiar physical structure, while the sculptor sees and creates some incomprehensible elongated thing. When we think of Pablo Picasso, we imagine a person like ourselves; he sees himself as something between a human and a gorilla. Why? Because at that moment, he is creating not his own face but ‘an encounter with death.’

Thus, Levon Tokmajyan is sculpting not the face of Paruir Sevak but the poem 'The Silent Bell Tower,' as he perceives it — in a way that we do not. That’s why Levon Tokmajyan is the sculptor, while we are all engrossed in our own work and seemingly understand little about art, painting, and sculpture. If we truly understood, we would also grasp the secret behind the global fame of the artworks mentioned below. But all of these seem ugly, distorted, and incomprehensible to our eyes, in none of which does a person resemble themselves, nor does anyone resemble a person at all,' she wrote.
