Fete, Fate, Nosferatu

Longing for eternal sleep, for returning to a place where I have never been, seems to be the fate of an artistic journey to which I am doomed. For me, an elusive desire is an ephemeral myth, which, as the energy of potential, expresses extra-perceptive perception, fire consuming water, awareness of seeing of a blind man. The history of ancestors, the memory of the earth, that is pre-historic sources, the pre-pre-natal state (included in the potential possibility of existence as a living form) and the over-consciousness hidden in childhood – are the guarantors of the Fate clause. Pact signed by a man with death. Death is inevitable, just as the emergence of another entities more important to the world than the artist.
