Stop cut down the cedars!
Once upon a time, trees and humans were friends. Everything has changed. Friendship was replaced by a consumerist and predatory attitude towards nature. This series of works is dedicated to the felling of cedars by tourists in the Yergaki Nature Park. Piece by piece from the root system, and in a few years the tree dries up.
The park authorities together with volunteers annually plant cedar seedlings. But, unfortunately, the restoration of the tree population is very slow. It is difficult to carry out reforestation work at altitudes. Plus, cedar has a very poor survival rate.
We believe that the process of deforestation can be stopped only by joint efforts. Tourists should treat nature with care. The staff of the Yergaki Nature Park should strengthen control over preservation of existing cedars.
The project is carried out jointly with Krasnoyarsk-based landscape photographer Aleksandr Leshchenok (https://al-photo.ru/en).

Human reset
“Great things are accomplished when men and mountains meet.” How right the English poet and artist William Blake is! Mountains are great teachers and psychologists, who sometimes teach us more than we could learn from books.
This series of works focuses on the healing process of an urban dweller in a mountain environment. Using a mixed technique, the authors show how the mountains penetrate the soul, force to throw off masks, the weight of worldly problems, get rid of claims and false emotions. There is a process of nullification and purification. The city dweller finds inner joy, tranquility and strength. Thus he conquers not mountains, but himself!
