Limits of Understanding and Hidden Life
Glass is a strange material for a forest, it is clearly a human influence. The glass cube represents the modest boundaries of our understanding of the Universe. The living red light of human civilization is so small in the darkness... With my work I would like to remind you of the endless primeval chaos, within which our entire civilization has modest boundaries of self-awareness.
These boundaries can be destroyed by any phenomenon from the Chaos and Darkness of space. I think about the gods of H. P. Lovecraft, threats beyond our understanding.
These works are part of a larger cycle that I will develop.
I study contemporary art and I’m sure I have something new to say to the world. My work is dominated by invisible anxiety, which I comprehend and sublimate. I will devote the next 10 years to a wide range of contemporary art practices, exploring social themes and various media. For now, however, let me start with a photograph.
Thank you

entry description
Forest, glass, neon and light painting are my brushes to talk about existential topics. Is there something hidden in nature when we don't look at it? Perhaps right now, trees are communicating with each other, like neurons in our heads? The crackle of electrical discharges in the deep thicket, like the planet is a huge computer. Maybe trees are capable of feeling no less than humans, look at their pulsating circulatory or nervous system!Glass is a strange material for a forest, it is clearly a human influence.
