The original bronze sculpture "Curious Snail" by Kirill Rakhmatullin. Russia, 21st century.

Sometimes we all want to go beyond our own capabilities: people, animals, and even shellfish. The sculptural composition "Curious Snail" is about this. That it's very interesting, sometimes, to imagine yourself as a snake and try to get out of your shell. And even if such a risky venture does not succeed, it is still worth trying. Because all the discoveries in this life are made by such slightly crazy enthusiasts of their business. The snail's figure is mounted on a base of three stylized heads, and this detail is not accidental here. The heads are turned in three different directions. This is a symbol that even the most positive discovery can be viewed from different angles. To debate, discuss, and even condemn. But the fear of judgment always pales before just one small, but very bright and necessary emotion - curiosity.
