The Sands of Memory

This picture is like a map drawn not on paper, but in the very fabric of time. The winding contours remind of the labyrinths of memory, where each "window" is a fragment of the life of the great desert: caravans, camels, nomads, ancient ornaments, animal tracks and ancient artifacts. Soft ochre-earthy tones create a feeling of warmth and antiquity, and the composition with smooth lines echoes the drawings on ancient rock carvings. The chains and bracelets woven into the plot refer to jewelry as keepers of history passing from hand to hand, from generation to generation. This handkerchief is a narrative, a handkerchief is a legend about traveling through space and time, about man's connection with the earth, rituals and nature.
