entry description
I HAD A DREAM. I WAS FILLED WITH A STRANGE WEAKNESS. I FELT DROWSY AND TIRED. MY LEGS WERE AS IF THEY WERE ROOTS GROWN INTO THE GROUND. EVERY STEP WAS HARD AND MADE ME MORE TIRED. I STOOD MOTIONLESSLY, IGNORING THE SNOW AND COLDNESS. I SAW OTHERS GOING AWAY, BUT I WAS TIED WITH THE LAND. I PRAYED TO GOD. GOD TOLD ME TO PLAY MUSIC. The project presents a difficult relationship of a man to the place where I live. Despite the difficult existence, this man can not part with the land of his ancestors. With the land in which he has his roots.about the photographer
