Throughout the project of this Russian artist, there exists an obvious ideological antagonism. Destroying modernism associated with salutary authenticity.
Thanks to even more sophisticated technologies, mankind nowadays overcomes Space time at the expense of Nature. With the urban comfort which he intelligently acquired, he is forgetting the essential thing, that is, “our Mother Nature”, the vital reality from which we are getting away.
But there remains hope in this proclaimed self-destruction… Our SOUL, which never gets lost. Drawing its origins from natural elements, it blends in with mountains, forests and rivers…, respecting the universal forces.
This "safety device” brings us back to the real and lively world and takes us closer to a healthier and more human life, like an irresistible need to go back to our origins. Paul Roux
