Dr. Gindi, nominated for the competition, is one of Switzerland’s leading contemporary sculptors, with her work revealing the multiple levels of infinity inherent in our existence.

As a physician, she devoted her early career life to the health of individuals bodies.

Her three-dimensional sculptures are said to reflect the daily suffering of humans and the reclamation of infinity, and her work ‘The Fateful Choice’, will be exhibited at the museum from October to January of next year.
