Collection concept:
FREEDOM: The Ukrainian soul and the Russian people are different, not the same, but the letters of the word "freedom" are the same: "свобода"(svoboda). Does that mean the same thing? How can we describe what has no letters? How can you live without a word? My mother was a journalist, she could not write the word "freedom". Being without freedom is a burden on the generations.
SAMSARA: The eternal cycle of existence appears in the object, body, soul, spirit.Our body is transitory and fragile, the silky vibrating, alive, cohesive force of our interwoven soul: existence.
METAMORPHOSIS: According to Heraclitus, "no man can step into the same river twice, because it is no longer the same, and he is no longer the same man." The rotation of the brooch lamellae arranged in a row assumes a repetitive and predictable movement algorithm. Change is caused by the human factor with its attitude and thinking. Over time, he can interpret the movement from a different perspective.
