The author noted that Lesya's figure is so majestic that it is not necessary to put her on a pedestal. The sculpture provides a circular view, in which an expressive silhouette is actively working. The tension of the forms seems to repeat the inner state of the poetess, from each new point of view the content deepens and the author's intention becomes more clear — to bring the great historical figure closer to people, to convey the depth of her inner world, spirituality.
