This is story behind the collaboration work: https://objkt.com/asset/KT1GMFukaANkLNZdA8tVYUFa1Jsf4S7YadGB/2
Alexander Seleznyov It was a bad day for me. I had no luck at work. I felt sad and depressed, yet I went to a photoshoot in these conditions. The sunset was really colorful, with all its golden hues. However, due to my state of mind, the picture turned out very somber. Beyond my personal feelings, it reminded me of bigger issues. Global warming, environmental pollution. I wanted to highlight it all. It's as if the Earth shared my mood, asking for attention to its own pains.
Together with Zarina, we created satirical ads about burning this world. Of course, we don't actually want this to happen.
ZmirnayaArt: When I was in depression, creating art was a kind of refuge for me, and I surprisingly found it easy to draw and design this piece. My inner state completely matched the spirit and mood of the photograph that Alexander suggested as a foundation for our collaboration. Because of this, it was very easy for me to add my art, and I am genuinely pleased with the final result.
