Series "Not Free" Reflections on human freedom. Why is freedom, this ephemeral thing, so important that you can lay down your life for it? What binds us in general: fences or our conscience, beliefs, ignorance? Is it possible to become absolutely free and is it really necessary? Chained, just born... Man is not free from the first minute of birth. It is clear that he, as a citizen of the country where he was born, already owes her: taxes, military service or life itself, if she was not very lucky and she was born in a totalitarian state. You change citizenship, but your roots and your baggage of well-known customs, songs and fairy tales remain with you forever. In our opinion, in the modern world, with all its high technologies and artificial intelligence, it is time to rethink the existing and create a new ethics in which humanity will live in the near future. In fact, this is a repetition of medieval disputes about God, man and soul, but on a new level. This new level is higher and more difficult: we are talking about humanism, freedom, animal rights and artificial intelligence. A very interesting historical moment in which we happened to live. Visually, the style of the series combines medieval wood painting, so common in Abruzzo, and Russian parsuna. In a sense, this is an allusion to the icon - in our human-oriented world, the focus is no longer on God, as in the Middle Ages, but on a person, his feelings and experiences. Man took the place of the Creator. Iron and wood - the contrast of cold and hard / harsh / cruel with lively and warm. This contrast is very characteristic of today, when conflicts are escalating all around, empires are collapsing, the rigid old consciousness is changing with gnashing and resistance.
