The artwork offers the viewer a fantasy on the theme of parallel worlds. And what if in a parallel universe there is a person similar to you, with the same warm heart and smart thoughts. He/she thinks like you, feels like you, lives like you. But he/she has a different skin color. Or a different gender. Or something else... Prejudice loses its force, since in this case it is meaningless.
Belongs to the series "Terra Our Own".
The parallels between our own body and the body of the planet we inhabit is what is the concept of this series. The artist sees the body of each person as a separate planet. Each of us has our own forests and rivers, our own countries, cities, towns, our territories and borders. We are presidents and we are citizens. We decide what state our lands are in and how and when to use our resources.
