Riders' hearts. World is full of dreamers, who seem to be ordinary until you met your very own dreamer soulmate. Collecting hearts was easy, until I lost my own, until I felt the warmth of my heart being in love, being in bloom.
How curious it is, that roles can switch so fast in life. Just now you are heart breaker and your choice's so wide. And all of sudden when you take one's heart, it flourishes. It can cloud your mind and take away the logic of your life.

Studying the plastics and architecture of the conch. In order to study it, you need to copy it, try it, investigate it.
I call this type of works meditative. the process of creation is as follows: I take the natural architecture principles (conch, plant, rock, etc.) and use it as the basis for my improvisation. It helps me to relax and experience the world.
THE BOATS IN ONES' EYES

This is an artistic self-portrait. The glance represents the river and tiny boats are sailing down the river. Roosters on the cheeks call to one another. Angel-hands are ready to make any dream real.
This is my old project, which became really significant. It has never beed displayed to the audience, as was not sure whether it will be welcomed. I thought one might consider it primitive. But it happened so that some people saw and appreciated it a lot. This stimulated me to display it to the wider audience.
Then I made an assumption to myself that there's no need to wait for the estimation of other people and I need to do only things that I consider to be worthy. Tastes differ anyway.

Unicorns are often described as the symbol of chastity and purity. One can catch just for a little glance and then it vanishes.
Existence of this creature may only be proved by another beholder, who also caught it chasing from the real world.
I wanted to create the sculpture, that will gradually open for the beholder. It needs attention, it requires one to come closer and take a deep look to see what it hides. As the shield reveals the story.

Nighttime. Inevitability drowns me from above. I am already open to accepting it. Because while I sleep, reality hangs over me. And I feel helpless before all of this, and there is nowhere to hide from this pressure, because I am a woman, I must give birth to all of this: joy, independence, ease, a child, an idea, warmth, ambition, strength, uniqueness - and carry it all within myself, nurture it, then unleash it, manage to do everything, give it to others, carry the core within myself...
But where am I in this familiar role?
