This is the main picture of the series. It depicts the soul of nature in the form of a woman. She leaned against a tree, almost withered, losing its leaves. She stands on the border of the forest between living trees and dead ones.
The idea to paint a series of paintings about withered trees came to me when I saw such trees on a lake in Siberia. The lake, most likely, did not have a name. It was small and located near the road in the Kemerovo region, where I come from. Every time I passed by, I looked at a dozen trees in the water and thought that there is some kind of charm in the gradual withering of nature and there is beauty of its own. Everything is cyclical in our life. The birth of life and its decay. There was life in this lake, fishermen constantly fished there. Everything was visible from the road. But a few years later, a processing plant was built across the road, where coal was brought from coal mines. After all, Kuzbass is the coal region of Russia. The coal is refined in this factory, the water comes from this lake, and I think it drains back. But after any processing, water will no longer have the same chemical and molecular composition as before.
The more a person "expands the area of his possessions," the more he invades the wild, natural world. This inevitably leads to change. And the more cynical the person, the greater the changes in nature.
