The general subject of my work is a dramatic conflict between the nature as a “given” reality and industrial system as invention of man. Consuming the environment, people do not take in account its live essence. The mechanism of industrial system has run its course and it cannot stop. For me, I had a long experience of living in a highly polluted area of my home country (the Ukraine), where everyone can feel the post-effects of industrialization.
The image of nature which I want to draw is far from mythological “wild force” or scientific “phenomenon of the universe”. I would like to express an idea has become so apparent today – “the fragility of nature”. I want to construct an object which will represent, in a certain symbolic way, the interaction between the nature and our industrial reality.
My way to realize this idea is intrinsically connected with materials I want to use. I believe that materials represent a certain meaning by themselves and they can even suggest the concept. I would like to use ice sculpturally to represent the fragility of nature.
I think that the most interesting part of this work is a performance. It is a natural process of ice melting. By this I want to show the declining of an environmental system. The red colour indicates violent intrudance of idustrialization into the nature. The metal construction symbolizes a system that provides this declining.
