Robber

Robber

“A Robber” is the final work from “The Way” series. Through this work I have expressed my fears and concerns related to the growing tensions in the world. According to Chekov if a rifle is mentioned in the first chapter it must fire in the last act. The quantity of nuclear weapons that exist in the world makes one wonder involuntarily whether “the rifle will fire” sooner or later.

In this work I depicted our civilization as a biblical robber whose tattoos refer us to the dark pages of our history - from slavery and racial extermination to the symbols of superstates whose ambition to attain absolute power has brought the world to the brink of death.
It’s foolish to think that there may be a way out of this situation. The only thing left is for each of us to decide just one deeply personal issue - what kind of robber is this - a righteous one or a completely lost one.

The image of the explosion is collated from multiple photos of clouds. The model of the cross is made from plywood covered with plastic. The cross is made according to the principle of inverse perspective to convey its metaphysical essence.
