Cafe Yulduz, Tashkent, 1977

“Bakhor” (meaning “spring” in Uzbek) was made in 1977 and installed inside the cafe of the “Yulduz” sewing factory in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Each relief is 2 × 5 meters, and 35–40 centimeters deep. Two similar reliefs stand next to each other.

This was the first abstract sculpture in Tashkent, which at the time was part of the Soviet Union.
