First artwork from the mini-cycle where I reminisce about key locations of my homeland, filtered through the prism of my subconscious. I let go of pain by reflecting on the metaphysical aspect.

Blue in the shadows for velvet-looking structure and light reactive effects.

A story behind the piece: According to the theory of panspermia, one of the theories of the origin of life - it was brought to Earth by meteors containing salt crystals with tiny droplets of water inside. Long millions of years of meteorite showers gave the earth reservoirs of water in which an incredible metamorphosis took place from inorganic life to organic, perhaps the only conscious life in the entire universe.

And now there is a place in the universe where a reverse metamorphosis from organic to inorganic life occurs in colossal quantities. It is absorbed by the soil of Soledar city, the capital of the salt mines - NaCl - a mineral of the origin of life, sacred in humankind culture. This frontline city is a portal to other dimensions where hundreds of thousands of souls are reincarnated, closing the cycle of life.
