Diptych “Illusions”
I always was thrilled with illusory of our world, superincumbent of modernity atop of ancient world views, transformation of artifacts during different historical epochs and rebirth of them in new contexts, and especially with the question, what can we see under the temporary masque of world, if we succeed some day to remove this indurate coat?

“The Wales Soul”
In one old Inuit tale whale’s soul is compared to burning fire, protected by young girl and destroyed from careless handling with beauty.In my interpretation whale’s soul issomething primitive, which owned our ancestors and which is almost lost by us. Burning fire, rock carvings, animal traces, reviving from shamans chanting shadows, floating old god’s masks, red blood, white bone, blue spirit. All is almost dissolved in waves of time. But still in all of us is remained archetype – whales soul – and until is burning this flame – Greenland whale revives again to cut through deep waters of our memory.
