Egor PlotnikovIn the forest installation ·
(from the “Various fairy tales” series)
Oil on canvas, wood, papier-mâché, acrylic · Russia

The forest is a quintessential "storybook" realm, where children often take center stage in tales. The forest beckons and intimidates; lose yourself within, and you might just rediscover your inner child. What lies ahead? Will we find refuge or stumble upon perils? Until you embark on the journey, you won't fathom, yet to reach your destination,

you must tread. As the path extends, fear may intensify, but with caution as the steadfast companion of resolve, they together uncover the rightful way. Life's choices are akin to a fairy-tale dilemma: left or right. Yet, life resembles more a forest where "left" and "right" remain undefined, and each trail must be blazed independently. The outcome remains uncertain. The key is to avoid wandering in circles.
