The Embassy’s Public Affairs Officer visited the Center of Polish Sculpture in Oronsko on July 29 to attend the unveiling of a sculpture by American artist Patricia Quilichini.

The marble sculpture “Message from the Caribbean” was commissioned by the Center for its outdoor museum.

At the unveiling ceremony, Quilichini said that “this message, personified by a broken seashell, is intended to enlarge the awareness of our ecological environment.

It is my intention to remind the viewer of the responsibility that all of us have to conserve our environment.”

The artist was proud to represent the United States on her first cultural exchange to Poland and to provide an artistic contribution to the Center from her birthplace, Puerto Rico, USA.

Quilichini currently lives, works and teaches in Georgia.
