Elena Kochurova

"Fire has great power of destruction, but it becomes the power of creation in the right hands. I've always admired the story of the hero, who brought fire to people and sacrificed himself for this. It's a symbol of creativity for me, because the artist also carries his creative fire into the world, warming souls and hearts. He gives it away without a trace, seeing how the fire flames in the eyes of the viewers and this makes him to reborn. This image of faith in humanity and self-sacrifice has become a symbol of my mood in these moments. I want to share my spark with the world and say - there is always a hope as long as the fire burns in the eyes."

"The Doll “Wisdom” was inspired by sensei Ueshiba Morihei. It is very difficult for all of us to accept our wrinkles and some graying hair that appear with age. We are frightened by the dusk of the sunset. Don’t be afraid of old age! The strength might dissolve but not the experience and the ability to see the beauty in the simple things"

11. "Money is a good servant, but a bad master "(F. Bacon)
Tatiana Gerasimenko
The thought expressed several centuries ago will always remain relevant. After all, as long as a person manages money, they serve him, helping to fulfill dreams, fulfill desires, just live. But it happens that with in time, desires increase, excitement turns on, the need to excel others in demonstrating one's wealth through expensive things, unreasonable spending. And here money begins to command, control. And at one moment a person becomes blind, deaf to everyone and everything, except for the golden master. And, in the end, he loses himself, his appearance, his essence, his destiny.And it doesn’t matter to a person what he looks like in his actions, because he has already been seized by fear of the possibility of losing the favor of the golden ruler, who plunges into darkness, where there is already there is no one.

12. They come and go
Tatiana Gerasimenko
"Everyone comes into this world ""empty"", without a ready-made instruction on how to live, how to deal with difficulties or enjoy wonderful moments, with whom to be friends, whom to love, who to be. Filling occurs gradually, upon contact, or rather immersion in society, which forms the future person, filling him with emotions, knowledge, skills, preparing him for the future life. But it passes and the moment of departure comes, to which everything accumulated during this very life is left. And this phenomenon is endless. Someone comes Someone is leaving So it was with everyone So it will be with everyone"
