As part of the Purple Path project curated by Alexander Och, Hoda Tawakol has installed her scuplture, Delicious Monster, in Limbach-Oberfrohna. This installation is part of a large sculpture project called EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE CHEMNITZ 2025.
Starting from a thick trunk, branches bound as if from textiles stretch far into their surroundings. Black-coloured foliage appears grafted on, red and purple roots spread across the floor like blood vessels or fragments of bodies. Through its form and colour, the work develops a high symbolic power in the mental space it initiates. It plays with the viewer's associations, evoking longing and effort, power structures and their options, as well as growth and decay, giving and taking.
