In this sculpture, the artist Alexander Dedov reveals the psychological idea of self-deception. The mythical creature created by him, diving beyond the limits of space, interprets the immersion of a person into the abyss of stereotypes. The depth of delusions, sometimes not in contact with objective reality, a person measures as his own opinion. A distorted view of the world drags him further and further until he finally drowns.
