The series comprise only photographs of objects, made with the collage technique. These objects were made of materials in different stages of destruction. They are postproduction waste with varied textures, recapitalized components of appliances and machines of unknown use. These multi-elemental reliefs made of wood, metal, gum and plastic gain amazingly homogenous character. The big scale of surface aberration decides about the character of elements used in the construction of the reliefs. These abstract compositions picture various attitudes and emotional states of the author towards basic distinguishing marks of the contemporary civilization.

The artist registers and uses both natural and man implicated processes of destruction, changing the photographed surfaces of wood, stone or metal. This transformation is the source of unpredictable creation, surprising “parallel reality”. He creates spatial objects, installations and bas-reliefs.
