Recently, during an evening walk, I came across a snowman. Not a big, real one, but a small, symbolic one. I like snowless winters, but someone must be feeling sad today and left it here.

Woven from water, doomed to wait for spring in the middle of the nocturnal concrete city. A symbol of hope.

You walked by but didn’t notice it.

Listen to a song by Dolphin from the album “Существо” (2011). It’s about hope. I strongly recommend listening to the whole album.

An ordinary winter evening.

I took a walk through the foggy January evening in Minsk.

Sarabande — a dance of the soul, a conversation with silence. The music tells a story that cannot be expressed in words. In this short film, I sought to convey the beauty of the moment and the tension of the unknown.

A bit of a summer evening

Recently there was a very strong wind in Minsk. During an evening walk, I noticed a lonely autumn leaf on a tree. Unfortunately, a photograph will not convey its horror and steadfast resistance to the onslaught of the elements. The wind was dying down - you can take a break. But then a new gust is stronger than the previous one - the leaf again tries to hold on with all its might.

I watched the confrontation between nature and nature. People separate themselves from the world around them, oppose themselves to everything. “How she raged!” (nature) - as if there is me, and there is she. But when you look from the side, you see more clearly how everything interacts with itself. Like a dog trying to bite its own tail.

A steadfast autumn leaf! I think it won that night, to proudly fall on the wet November asphalt in the morning. Autumn. Once again, nature throws off its clothes, as it will one day throw us off.

I took a walk and photographed a beautiful autumn sunset at the Chizhovskoye Reservoir in Minsk.

The trees are shedding their clothes, the streets have become quieter. Autumn has knocked on the doors of homes and hearts. It is already standing on the threshold.
