I was born and raised on the Black Sea coast, surrounded by the constant rhythm of cicadas, the sound of waves, and the rich, humid air. These impressions became part of me and continue shaping my creative work.

In this tapestry, flowers become a celebration - a joyful riot of vivid color. Peaceful fish swim within the vase, feeding the flowers, while the flowers, in return, give life to the fish. It is a closed, poetic cycle - a reminder that everything is interconnected in quiet harmony in nature.

Several large pieces of amber are sewn onto the vase, enhancing the feeling of organic unity. These natural stones serve as stabilizing links - bridging the flowers, the fish, the vase, and, ultimately, the artist.
