THE FOURTH DIMENSION IN THE WORK OF SCULPTOR SARGIS BAGHDASARYAN: «WE ARE OUR MOUNTAINS»

Despite the fact that the images of objects on the retina are two-dimensional, humans perceive the world as three-dimensional, thanks to the ability to perceive spatial depth through stereoscopic vision. The temporal dimension, combined with the three spatial ones, encompasses the entirety of our reality. Through its conceptual determination, expressive power, and immediate emotional impact, the monument «We Are Our Mountains» transcends the ordinary to become a symbol of the strength, will, and intellect of the people. It represents the men and women who lived in these mountains, fought in these mountains, and managed to secure their eternal existence amidst the heights of Nagorno-Karabakh. However, the concept of "eternal existence" has proven less enduring than imagined. The people who lived in these mountains now face the challenge of reclaiming their world anew. Years will pass, and our descendants will undoubtedly resolve this challenge. On a subconscious level, this outcome is unequivocally defined within the collective consciousness of the people. The author of this article analyzes their painting inspired by the «We Are Our Mountains» monument, created after the fall of Nagorno-Karabakh, and concludes that the work likely reflects the realities of the theory of multidimensional space.
