THE MAIN IDEA WAS TO MAKE AN INTERPRETATION OF ARTEFACT OF SOME KIND. I CHOOSE A BOWL MY GRANDFATHER MADE OUT OF A WOODEN BURL. ALSO, TO MAKE THINGS MORE BONDING, AS THE MAIN MATERIAL I USED CHARCOAL. I WONDERED HOW TO ASSOCIATE THIS LIFE FORM WITH MORE OF A HUMAN ASPECT AND SOME HOW MADE THE SIMILARITY WITH MOTHERS TUMMY WHILE BEING PREGNANT. THIS MADE ME DEVELOP SKETCHES OF BODIES IN CIRCLE / SPHERE KIND OF COMPOSITION. I THOUGHT, THIS HAS TO BE BIG! I ALWAYS WANT TO SEND SOME KIND OF A MESSAGE AND REFLECT MY IDENTITY AS AN ARTIST. SO THIS WORK BECAME THAT. I MADE MY BELIEF SYSTEM, DIVIDED IN THREE LEVELS OR, LETS CALL THEM ROUNDS. BASE CONSTRUCTION BECAME THE ROSE WINDOW OF THE ART ACADEMY OF LATVIA THAT I WAS CURRENTLY STUDYING AT. IT GIVES NUMEROLOGICAL MEANING:
(1) THE MIDDLE CIRCLE REPRESENTS POTENTIAL / THE CENTER OF IDENTITY. IT IS STRENGTH, WILLPOWER, LOGIC, INTELLECT. IT IS THE POTENTIAL OF THE BIRTH OF IDEA.
SECOND ROUND, THE TWELFTH ''PETAL'' FIGURES MAKES NUMBER (3)=1+2 THE BELIEF / IN TARO, CARD OF EMPRESS. MANIFESTATION, WISDOM, BEAUTY, ART. IT STANDS FOR THE SENSIBILITY AGAINST INFLUENCE OF SOCIETY AND WORLDLY ADDICTIONS. IT IS WITH IN A QUESTION OF SELF PROTECTING.
THE OUTWARD ROUND MAKES A STATEMENT FOR HARMONY / NUMBER SIX STANDS FOR LOVE AND COMES OUT OF TWENTY FOUR CIRCLES (6=2+4), IN THEM ARE DRAWN FIGURES OF COUPLES AND SINGLES. THIS SHOWING THE INEVITABLE SYMBIOSIS AND HARMONY OF DREAMS, LOVE AND MAJOR VALUES OF LIFE.
SO A BIT TRICKY, A BIT OF A BRAIN TWISTER IT BECAME. STILL THE IMPORTANCE WHILE WORKING ON IT HAS ONLY GROWN AND AS IT IS SLIGHTLY UNFINISHED, AFTER MANY TRIES, I AM STILL WONDERING ABOUT THE MIDDLE DRAWING, WHAT COULD IT BE? WHAT IS THE CENTER OF YOURSELF?
