The main topic, of course, is the Arctic. It has been exciting for me for a long time, but by 2018 it has become a single whole and a cross-cutting theme in my work. I plan to develop it further and already have concrete plans. First of all, the Arctic is a metaphor for heroism, purity, and aspiration to the future. After graduation, I moved to Saint Petersburg and lived near the Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic. For two years, it became one of my favorite places in the city, I almost did not get out of there. Since then, and for almost ten years now, I have been collecting books about the Arctic, reading scientific articles, and taking a course on climate change. Humanity for at least two hundred years has been looking in that direction and trying to imagine what will happen next, how the development of the Arctic will develop. There are very interesting books on this topic. If you read how you imagined the development of the North pole 50 years ago, you can learn absolutely fantastic things.
