Whirlpuś

Whirlpuś is a bronze dwarf statue located in the Psie Pole-Zawidawie district on the eastern side of Wrocław. The sculpture serves as a gathering point for visitors exploring this residential neighborhood.

The statue was installed in 2021, joining a growing collection of bronze dwarfs in Wrocław whose roots trace back to the 1980s. This movement began as a response to the political climate of that era and evolved into a citywide artistic phenomenon.

The figure participates in a local practice of distributing small bronze dwarfs throughout Wrocław, forming a network of art pieces that links different neighborhoods together. Visitors can explore this collection as a walking journey across the city, encountering different perspectives on public spaces as they go.

The statue sits at an easily accessible location within a lively residential area of the city. Visitors can approach it at any time and combine it with other similar sculptures to create a self-guided art exploration.

This particular figure was created as a response to a marriage proposal, carrying a personal story that sets it apart from many others in the collection. For visitors who take time to learn its background, an emotional layer emerges behind what appears to be a simple bronze sculpture.
