Untitled (29.1.94), 1994

The green season (spring-summer - the green stain in the center) was before the red one(autumn)(the bottom red part). And before that it was a white season(winter). And the pattern was repeating itself as long as you remember. You don't move that much in these days.It is a winter season all the time. Everything is white, everything is starting to disappear under the snow. What is left for you is to sit near the window and watch. What is left to you is your memories.

You saw it coming. There were early hints(black lines). But you had hoped that it was nothing. Even if it would have something, it would have been something minor. And then you came up to the black square in the middle. That's where you have realized that this is it. The end. You are standing in front of frightening black square.Other people still have hope(blue squares), but you understand than no matter what you do, you will return to the same black square. No escape.
