Untitled, 2012

At first it was like a game to you (green background). You met at a cafe. Your skills to pick up girls and wits were broken by her steel armour(the figure on the left). Fueled by the mystery and passion, you changed your tactics. You crawled, dug. You have got a couple of dates(circle-like figures in the upper center). It led to a pretty wild relationship(the figure at the upper right corner). But both of you were stuck, you were moving in circles, not progressing. So two of you decided to separate( yellow figure in the right center). You are left only with broken pieces from that relationship (the white figure in the lower right), but you still remember the connection with warmness.

The Brick House

It could look dull. But in the openings and cracks there is so much action.The brick house looks heavy and solid, but actually it is full of dreams and hopes. It has a nice fireplace, where everyone gathers when it's cold and snowy outside.

Return

This is your return home, where you grew up.Warm colors. Fireplace. Everything is familiar. It looks like a box with plasticine or a quill blanket your grandma used to make.Black rectangles are some embarrassing memories, probably from the high school.But it does not spoil your cozy nostalgia. You feel nice and warm, because you know that it is temporary, a long weekend or a vacation. At the end you will go back to more interesting stuff, to the unknown(the cloudy rectangle in the upper right corner).
