Boat

Interestingly, when I was looking for these things – they had two purposes. The first of them is for securing a boat. The second is for securing cattle. So, when I fix this on the wall and tie myself to it – I will be something between… a boat and cattle. Am I the only one who sees a figure with a cow’s head in a boat?..

Stronger

“Every time I look in your eyes I feel stronger, stronger
Every time I look in your eyes I feel stronger, stronger
The look in your eyes makes me stronger
Now I can’t wait any longer
So look at me, shine on me
Without that I’m going crazy.
Crazy!”

You can own the body, you can own the heart, you can own the soul. But I always preferred to own the eyes. To fall in love with a person, it is enough to fall in love with their eyes.

For several days, the song Stronger by the Ukrainian band We Are (which is now somewhat different) has been playing in my head and player. After looking at the text (because I am a Ukrainian-speaking person and my English is “so-so”), I liked it. I decided to do some work, and I wanted to start with a reference. But I liked the reference from the phone with the processing, so I decided to leave this work as it is.

I added a second photo – it is from 2013. This is the beginning of our acquaintance with my wife. This photo became the “eye donor”. Strange work? Probably… but do I have different ones?..

“Maybe I’m busy today
But tomorrow I will throw my routine away
You’re my sun I need your light
You’re my charge that I need to fight
Maybe today I don’t have too much
But tomorrow I will give you a sky
You’re my sun I want you to shine
So please don’t ever ever cry!”

Ps I know you’ll definitely like this song, but it’s her song. Always remember that ^_^

I ain’t got a Bright Side…

“I ain’t got a bright side
Don’t tell me there’s a silver lining
I ain’t got a bright side
Cheer up baby, give us a smile..”

The song by the band Anavae – “Smile” was supposed to be related to another work, but it so happened that I found a rather interesting belt in myself. I wanted to do something dark, not in the sense of blood and makeup, but with a sexual overtone. Unfortunately, due to damage to the electrical infrastructure and lack of light (due to the russian attack), the work turned out to be less than ideal. But it’s better than nothing.

“Tearing out my eyes to rid my temptation
I am lacking affirmations, just grieve, breathe, breathe
You’re making me your art and staying miserable
Will we always gravitate to all the things that make us tortured?
This is getting really boring”

Music Power

I had this idea for quite some time. But something always prevented its implementation – either the lack of a player, or the lack of a “tube with blood”. So I postponed its implementation. And today the stars aligned, and I decided to close this gestalt.

I wanted to do it in a more classical form, but I didn’t like the colours I got, the composition and in general. So I decided to play with the colours and as a result I got what is in the picture. I like that it looks like digital art. It adds a certain artificiality that I needed.

I didn’t add any song to this work or idea, because music is its basis. Those who like music like me will understand what this work is about. So no explanation is needed here 🙂

Sandwich with sausage and cheese

The mystery of this picture is that this “sandwich” is both conventional and not. The point is that the picture was taken with a thermal camera. Or rather, three pictures were taken. First, I took a picture of a piece of toasted bread. Then a piece of sausage. Then a piece of cheese. So the picture consists of three images of different foods that were printed on one piece of paper. So technically it’s a printed sandwich.
