About this artwork
Bronze sculpture on the slate base showing a child sitting on the rock which is in the abstract form of a woman. The sculpture inspired Stanislaw Kapuscinski to write a poem with the same name:
I liked staring, unblinking, into the setting sun
painting the mists of far, far-distant, endless sea.
Since I was but a little, lonesome, fearful boy
sunsets made me elusive, protected, strangely free.
I sat there looking at raging, insatiate orb of… fire.
I––tiny, innocent, gazing at what might be…
Tomorrow? The day after? Perhaps even forever.
Beyond time and space, beyond the endless sea.
Now I am old and hunched, still gazing at the sunset.
No longer dreaming of future––still lonesome as can be.
I now dream of the past, of days left behind,
when I first sat here, alone, on the old, gnarled tree.

Bozena Happach is a Canadian sculptor who has exhibited on a national level. Her figurative and contemporary compositions illustrate the complexity and beauty of the human form, as well as music, animals, and love. Through her wall sculptures, she employs figures in order to tell a story. Happach's works are created in bronze, stone, and fiberglass. Each medium requires a different artistic and physical approach, and her small bronze artworks often inspire larger fiberglass pieces.
