Kulikovska created this sculpture with soap by using a mould of her body. The combination of colours gives this piece a unique sense of texture. It has connotations of a classical Greek sculpture, yet the unique ballistic soap material gives it a modern twist. The light green head and neck is similar to a copper statue, signifying a sense of importance. However, the variation in colour in her body gives a sense of Kulikovska’s personal emotion. Kulikovska uses her soap sculptures to explore feminism, as she takes the idea of a traditional sculpture and imparts her own style in an attention grabbing way. This sculpture is similar to some of her other museum pieces which can be found in Odesa Fine Arts Museum, Q Collection Hong-Kong/Budapest, Deutsche Telekom Art Collection, Bonn, Germany.
