The artwork was created especially for the exhibition "Embracement" (2021.09.09 - 10.23), dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the famous Lithuanian modernist artist Antanas Mončys.
In her creative practice, Marija Puipaitė investigates bodily feelings in design objects. She explores a sensual and ambiguous connection with the material environment that surrounds us. In this work, she experiments with shape and texture: she sculpts a form which she then upholsters with velvet, a material with strong historical and sensuous connotations. Marija is interested in worn-out objects, places and surfaces as embodiments and signs of touch, of the lived, used and loved; surfaces and places that gather traces of a human being. Typologically, this work is a hybrid piece, at once a seat, a toy, a garment.

Kūrinys yra specialiai sukurtas parodai „Glamonė“ (2021.09.09 – 10.23), kuri skirta žymaus Lietuvos modernizmo menininko Antano Mončio šimtosioms gimimo metinėms atminti.
Kūrinyje Atsidavę paviršiai, Marija Puipaitė siekia atrasti juslišką ir dviprasmišką ryšį su mus supančia materialia aplinka. Menininkė eksperimentuoja su forma ir faktūra: skulptūriškai sumodeliavusi objekto formą, jį aptraukė aksomu – medžiaga, kuri turi stiprų istorinių bei jausminį kontekstą, kurį papildo taktiliniai pojūčiai. Puipaitė šiame kūrinyje atskleidžia išdėvėto objekto prasmę, kurioje išsilaiko kūniškumo ir prisilietimo atmintis, daikto istorija, devėtumas ir žmogaus pėdsakai. Tipologiniu atžvilgiu, šis kūrinys yra hibridas – atsisėdimas, žaislas, drabužis ir laikmena viename.
