The most important trend in my work is the issue of transience, death and decay. Over the past few years, I have been regularly observing and noting on film the transformation taking place in the beautiful old garden that I know from my childhood, its trees with such dignity and majesty accept their end without regret or despair, in this place only time and beauty are present. I wanted to stop time, moving in my imagination to an unseen world in which we will all find ourselves one day. For the name, I used a Latin maxim: " No herb grow in the gardens against the power of death".
