The sculpture group repeatedly addresses the theme of the navel as a symbol of genealogy, as well as processes of food intake and excretion. The navel points to the origin and the previous nourishment of the new organism in the mother's womb. Also notable are the three sculptures whose shape is oriented towards wisdom teeth, which are the natural life insurance of prehistoric humans in terms of the "third molars."
A personal comment: "I never developed wisdom teeth in my set of teeth and therefore belong to the 'modern humans'. This condition amused me so much that I created these oversized objects as a counterbalance."
