AND SUDDENLY I SAW THE SUN. A BEAUTIFUL TANNED SUN

The "Life as Like Air" series consists of works, most of which are made of feathers. A feather is something that resists the air and the consequence of this resistance is flight. The flight of thought also resists the usual perception of reality and pushes the boundaries of understanding the essence of being. Therefore, with the help of a pen, it is possible to embody thoughts about mushrooms, lilies, mourning, or the answer to a question completely unexpectedly.
The use of feathers as a material is not new; the Indians of Central America used it for coded messages to successors. In Europe, feathers were an element of the decoration of knightly armor, emphasizing the bravery of their owner. Objects made of feathers are permeated with air, which lifts us above the ground and carries us to the heavens of an immeasurable space, returning dust to the earth.
However, if you do not take the feather literally, physically, the essence of what it embodies is quite possible to convey using alabaster on fabric. The movement presented in the form of a fragile pen is a thought about the boundless space for realizing our dreams.
