Work from the series Botany, is inspired by nature, nature. Optimism and faith in the
indestructibility of nature. The mood of melancholy, dreamy, rocking in the clouds and the
desire to immerse oneself in nature - this is my message. The work was created during the
lock down. Return to walks, contact with nature, the environment and the normality of
of everyday life - these are also the ideas contained in this work.
