A hot plain, sown with yew - a memory plant from the steppes of Ukraine. Here the air is heated to the point of mirages. The Hero is static: he stopped to review his landmarks. This is a work about inner honesty - the ability to stop to understand where your true path leads. This is a moment of finding direction, a moment of doubt before the next step.
The work is part of the series "Journey to..." - a series of five round canvases. The choice of the round shape of the canvas is a conscious departure from linear logic in favor of cyclicity. This is an exploration of a journey that has no final point, because its goal is the process itself.
At first it was a chaos of texture and color, then the Hero entered these viscous, hot or mystical environments.
Each circle is a lens that colors everything around in the appropriate color, based on my decisions made at that moment. These works worked as a tool for "level fusion", where each step into the depths becomes a step up.
