It’s a melody of autumn - a story about elderly couple living together all Life, each in
his personal world, each with his own secrets. It's a story of people who live modest
life, but with dignity. It's a story that has both — sadness and smile... In this artwork
the spheres serve as metaphors for dissociation from the outside world and even from each
other.

• Biography
  Where is the line between truth and falsehood? Between illusion and reality? There’s a famous phrase - "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures". Truthful fiction is the basis of my creative style. Fiction may not reflect the reality as we know it, yet conveys a deep, accurate and true message. I draw my inspiration from sources such as Renaissance paintings and allegories. I uses allegories to express her understanding of the world and talk about what's important to me today.
