I started this series in 2014, at the beginning of the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine. I was sawing off the surface of old works that were fun and quite happy and a little bit critical of contemporary society – I didn’t see why I needed them now. I saw satellite images of the fields in eastern Ukraine that had been destroyed by artillery shelling.

From the satellite, you could see how densely the ground was covered with craters from the explosions. And each such crater is the result of a rupture, which scatters many iron fragments that fly through the body without stopping and kill the living. There are a lot of fragments, a lot of shells, and it goes on and on. That’s why I’m not sorry to cut down old pictures..
