The work addresses the formation of new ecologies, where nature and technology are closely intertwined, and focuses on the forced need of natural living forms to adapt to changing environmental conditions caused by a human activity.
The series consists of three mixed media paintings, the body of which have images of technological urban objects and are multi-layered frames made of milled aluminum panels. Inside the bodies, three-dimensional cyborg organisms made of cast aluminum are fixed in epoxy resin of bright technogenic colors. Thus, heroes of the series are cyborgized natural organisms looking for ways to adapt to an urbanized environment.
The triptych seeks to convey the different stages of adaptation of living organisms in the city. In the first picture, the organisms are framed in a rigid regular grid of the city - as if forcibly placed in unnatural conditions for themselves. In the second, the urban body of the picture becomes more organic, and the colors inside are more aggressive. This part is about the struggle between living organisms and the city, in terms of imagery it is the most disturbing. The third and final picture is a dream of interspecies coexistence and a balanced new ecology.
