Description: A game, where innocent child toys become monsters because of special point of view, an animal acts of greedy consumer society. A game, where rulers are little sexual daily routines and withdrawal of audience into world of desire, where absurd, obscene or hidden is a norm and creatures, which are harmless at the first sight, provoke the feeling of a hidden threat, sometimes becoming a direct aggression. A game, where fluctuations between child’s allusions and their appearances in mature sexual desire take place.
A lot of my works deal with a problem of manipulation, while those (that, or who) manipulate are often left behind the frame.
