"The closeness of my reality is the feelings of uncertainty and fear. Lately, they’ve been trying to get me in a whirlwind with very intense whirlwinds of words. I want to break free, I want to resist, I want to restore my balance. To look far, to stand akistaton with the primacy of nature spread far into the horizon. Only by seeing the distance of the sky, the sea, the mountains can I once again feel the most intimate promise of hopeful reality. It is as if for a moment you stood akistaton with the very greatness of the universe. With all your being, you would dive into the promising "I am" space. This state is only a flash, because every time after a brief illumination to return to the body, to the instinct to survive, to survive and at the same time fear to die. In my works, I do not shy away from the recurring architectural space that unfolds as a symbol of the human body. This is one of the planes through which we can perceive the reality around us. I seek to unfold a vision of an optimistic, hopeful world. Cut out, open, reveal spaces for meeting the widest distances of space, because if you are not afraid to die, only then can you live boldly! ”
