Fideicommissum, Bronze fountain sculpture at Wanås Sculpture Park in Knislinge, Sweden
The life-sized bronze sculpture presents a female figure in a squatting position, creating a water fountain effect through its design and placement near a pond.
Created in 2000, the sculpture references the Swedish fideicommissum system, where estates passed to eldest sons until the law changed in 1964.
The sculpture incorporates classical Roman and Greek design elements while addressing modern themes of gender roles and inheritance traditions in Swedish society.
The sculpture stands permanently in the grounds of Wanås Castle, which visitors can access daily from 10:00 to 17:00 through the main entrance.
The artist created this bronze self-portrait after needing to find relief in nature during her first visit to plan installations at Wanås.
