Dawn in any city, 2011

People make up the face of a city. They can brighten a gray, gloomy and depressing city. They can ruin a perfect town. People add colors to the buildings and streets. But as the number of people swells, you start feeling overwhelmed by the mobs. You feel like a sand grain in the sea - isolated and insignificant. You feel very lonely and crowded at the same time. That's why you are trying to escape : behind a newspaper, into the headphones or onto the internet.

When I finished writing about this work, I have realized that I already have a post about it. So for those who are interested here the link to the same artwork.

Life is black.Life is dark. Life is confusing. That's true when you are absolutely alone. People define your life. People give your life proportions, directions and colors(the rectangles). Some of people are nice, some are more bleak. But interactions with this huge, diverse crowd are the essence of everyone's life.

Metropolis

Metropolis is a huge concentration of people. They live literally shoulder to shoulder ( those countless parallel lines). They all are trying to keep the cool poker face and some boundaries(green-blue framework).But underneath there are boiling hot(red, white) feelings, relations and events. All those are happening very dense to each other in small confinements.
