This painting is a mirror of our modern times, where the liana symbolizes humanity, and the lattice - technology and civilization, within which we exist. All this is intertwined and tied into an insoluble Gordian knot. The vitality of the liana, its strength, tenacity, ability to survive, plasticity, variability in the process of adaptation to the surrounding reality, all this resembles human nature, and even the intertwined trunks of the liana resemble human bodies transforming in the process of life. At the beginning of the path, the living clings to the non-living. The plant clings to the support in order to, leaning on it, move towards the light and live, but over time, the living grows, changes and increases, and the support remains the same.

We are on the threshold of a new era. What awaits us? Struggle
