The great-grandfather of the Russian poet Pushkin was the first Afro-Russian commander of the New Age named Abram Gannibal. Reading Hannibal’s letter to Peter the Great in 1722, I learned that he started from a very low level and managed to become an important figure in the society in which he lived.

It is inspired by Greek philosophy. “Everything says” Heraclitus tells us that the only constant in life is constant movement. Thus, my poems invite the reader on a journey through the movement and flow of memories, sensations, images and thoughts, sometimes based on the psychology of human relationships, and sometimes in places of nature, familiar and experienced.

We wanted to capture the endless movement of life in the photographs of the poetry collection. A series of photographs follows the human body from fetal position to extended position. The element of the sea in the photographs symbolizes perpetual motion.

What I want to express is a sensory memory and the imprint that human relationships leave on us, as well as concrete images and landscapes. I wanted to offer a mystagogic nostalgia for the relationships that went through and influenced us creatively, after music and then flowers.
