Quotes by Abakanowicz
"I'm frightened by crowds of people, birds or even insects swarming in great masses.  People in an airport, people on a metro or on a tram, can seem threatening, horrible, a brainless entity.  Today we are pushed by quantity in general.  I create these crowds of figures as a warning: they're saying we are too many.""I feel overawed by quantity where counting no longer makes sense. By unrepeatability within such a quantity. By creatures of nature gathered in herds, droves, species, in which each individual, while subservient to the mass, retains some distinguishing features. A crowd of people, birds, insects, or leaves is a mysterious assemblage of variants of certain prototype. A riddle of nature's abhorrence of exact repetition or inability to produce it. Just as the human hand cannot repeat its own gesture, I invoke this disturbing law, switching my own immobile herds into that rhythm."
