Clay Creations: Noon in Summer
When I look at this work, I experience those emotions when, in the middle of the summer, I left for the village, and there I felt how life was in full swing around, nature was filled with strength and a sense of unity arose in my soul

A series of these works addresses the hidden parts of our identity through the prism of religious beliefs, which to one degree or another are deep in the labyrinth of our consciousness. By analogy, the artist tells us that a person is a vessel, a kind of container of experience, knowledge and preconceptions, born from stardust, just like everything around us. Each of us is unique and imperfect, as well as each of the jugs. It depends on us how to fill ourselves, but we are all subject to the influence of the environment. All jugs are interconnected, create a common composition, communicate with each other through color, light, absorbing and reflecting in their surfaces images of other jugs and the environment. The world is open in front of us, somewhere it is inhabited and well studied, somewhere there is nature untouched by man, and somewhere new settlements can be seen next to ancient ruins. In the world of the future, a person will always have white spots on the maps - both of the earth and space.
