Broken tree

One of the main characters in the «Theater of Invisible» art-movie and of the performance «The mystery of image and sound: singing universes of Kirin» (under support of the Russian Ministry of Culture, 2022)

Sometimes the plots of our life are outwardly simple. Sometimes the situation is very ordinary and understandable. But there is one detail that changes everything, if you know how to track its path and hear its history, to understand its meaning.

The story of this picture is the story of a forgotten promise. All of it is reflected in one fragment - a Christmas tree pierced by an arrow. The other picture areas - are just emotional decorations of this story.

When you open up to a stranger, and he pretends that he cares about you, promises you a trifle that you didn't even ask for, knowing that it's big for you. When you let him come deeper into yourself, giving him a place inside your heart. And he forgets the promise, because it was never important, he just wanted to receive "like" in a moment, nothing else. When you thought that you had met a friend, but had just met a guy collecting applause. And no one owes anything to anyone, and you will pretend even to yourself that it's a trifle. But your heart is a little broken. And you meet the new year alone without the Christmas tree. And you decide to become Santa by yourself. And you grow from it. But your heart is still a little broken.
