BLINDNESS.

  My project "Blindness" is devoted to the problem of the extinction of rare species in recent years. I created paintings depicting the skulls of these animals. In addition, I also made sketches of the same animals on transparent sheets of Plexiglas. When viewed at a certain angle with one eye closed, the images of the living animals and their skull align according to the rules of perspective. Closing one eye is a symbol of the effort we must make to conserve biodiversity. We need to escape our comfort zone and sacrifice something of ourselves for nature. In addition, this act of viewing is a symbol of our blindness, when, unfortunately, people often do not want to see the problems of the world.
