Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz was a teenager when the Nazis invaded her country and slaughtered many Poles and Jews. Most of her art comes from her memories of World War II and its aftermath. Each bronze girl in Puellae is cast from a mold made of burlap and is textured and unique. But when they are grouped together in a crowd, the spooky headless girls all start to look the same. That's what Magdalena Abakanowicz intended to show us: when governments are taken over by evil dictators, people become as insignificant as ants.
