fragment series appeared all of a sudden, with the smell of blooming flowers and warm salty air tickling my face.
Summertime is a unique and incredibly breathtaking period of time for me.
Sort of a small universe filled with a feeling of upcoming adventures and lulling sensation of home, where someone is always waiting for you.
This summer is different,
life feels different
World feels different.
I went on a search for myself, traveling around the world in attempts to recreate those feelings of home and safe place, while touching some of the questions of my existence: reflecting on childhood, human relationships, past & future.
“fragments” collection formed as a combination of the summer colorful glory, moments I captured on camera, and thoughts in a form of the fictional child character, bringing the innocence to the color palette and composition in contrast to my latest pieces with their screaming visual seriousness and brutalism.

I am myself and I am here
To pour my soul. In a moved hand,
Starless his smile in vision clear,
Swift he passed through the darkening land.

silence binds
empowered we are with words
how dare am I to keep the silence
when truth is not the essence
when land is spitting innards
when world is breathing out of cadence;
we are the birds who witness burning homewards
dark height of truth

dark height of truth
Something is beginning in order to end
Reflecting figure of noble light,
I have found no pleasure than the friend,
Suspending my eye with flames of sunlight.

feels different
It's sweet, so sweet, so slow
Broke some barrier course to my heart;
Sneaking soft and low, like a heavy flow,
Perhaps the strife might sometimes depart.

dare
Where shall I keep my dare ?
To the grim power, as the night wind
Keep that little prattle of thy air,
Like the clouds that mist the mountains with song.
hearts and minds
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world
To join the long long music of birds,
Even as the steel my touch lay hurled;
There was no answer in this shy word.
