"I never thought I would be involved in any way, because I'm working in a different direction now, not in the monumental direction. But it's a cool experience and very unusual for me — on the one hand. On the other hand, when you develop as an artist, you are subconsciously ready for this kind of thing anyway — to do something big.

It's interesting when there's an opportunity to realize scale: you check yourself if you're 100% ready for it. It's one thing when you draw sketches and get ready in the studio, but it's another thing when you go out there already with all the equipment that you are dealing with for the first time: the architecture and its relief. So there are a lot of issues to deal with and, in my case, it was no longer working with the plane. So I liked this integration of the pictorial space into the architectural spacе".
