A cocoon is an experience of complete isolation from life and at the same time life itself, the accumulation of resources and potential for life. A feeling of information vacuum, isolation and at the same time security. In the picture, the man wrapped in draperies is safe: here in the emptiness there are no desires or aspirations. The fabric envelops the body and forms a cocoon, rhythmic folds dissect the space of the format, this tightness does not allow movement, the person is sleeping, there is no potential for life, this represents an allegory of closed non-existence. The canvases are designed in black and white, which emphasizes the existence of a reality outside our world.

Personal statement of the author: "I am interested in the essence of man: his reality, being, the ability to transform internal and external boundaries. We live in a world where the technical process permeates all spheres of our life, the pace of our life is accelerating. Man mutates, modeling a new reality. I work working on creating a visual image of human deformation and the deformation of the world."
