\nThe work was born in 1977 during a trip to Krakow where the artist met Karol Wojty\u0142a, who later became Pope. Inspired by the words of Wojtyla, he created an oil painting representing an asexual human being from whose head a dove came out to drag away sickle and hammer (symbol of Russian communism).
