«The provenance. Entry ?1»
Digital graphics.

From the moment of our birth, there are many events that affect us as individuals, but perhaps the most important of them is the moment of birth (the scarlet epicenter of the picture).
In the center of the picture is the mother's womb. The sphere symbolizes the child and the process of its birth, the creation of a new planet, our origin. The Equatorial red band is the umbilical cord that connects the child to the mother and serves as a channel for genetic exchange and life until the moment of birth.
The relationship between mother and child is unconditional and requires no explanation. Our first truly loving person to whom we belong is our mother. We have a reference point-a white sheet, which so far has only one entry "mother and date of birth".
How many of these entries will be in the provenance of love and whether they will be made by mistake, we can never know in advance. The only thing to remember is that entry # 1 never needs to be expertized.
While there are no words, no records, we are about to be born and make our first sound, and while we are connected to our only source of life, we are filled with the power of love.
The theme of the origin of the world and references to the world-famous work of Gustave Courbet is clearly visible in the work.
