  In 5 hours of art synthesis, the stones spoke in body, sound, color. STONE is a journey through time, a journey through space - rich in mythical beings, biblical motives, a relationship with yourself and the Other.

  The work has a bright theme of war and freedom. The created direct bridge (broadcast on the former workshop gate) between Lithuania and Ukraine emphasizes the creator's independence, the freedom to cross not only over time, but also man-made political, social and other boundaries.

... I build, destroy, defend, attack, comfort, fight, give up, I BELIEVE.
