The Study Of A Helping Hand Painting

"The Study Of A Helping Hand" is a three-piece artwork which describes different stages of such a natural, yet complicated task of helping another human. The first stage is a rejection of help. In this artwork, it's represented with a hand that shows a middle finger in anger and disguise. The second stage is the connection. In this artwork, it's represented by two hands reaching out to each other, not knowing whether they will be able to help each other yet or not. The third stage is exhaustion. In this artwork, it's represented by a hand, which is pure bones and veins. It's been helping so much that it has lost any other substance. *** Ты знаешь, сильные не плачут! Не бьют наперекор себе, Как нынче водится, лежачих, А поднимают их в борьбе. Ты знаешь, сильные не плачут! Не опускают головы, Не ходят к ангелам за сдачей И не крадут чужой халвы. Ты знаешь, сильные не плачут!... Лишь волком воют на луну Про неразборчивость удачи И боли дикой глубину. (C) 2008 TRANSLATED POETRY (ENGLISH) You know, the strong ones don't cry! They do not hit against their own might those who fell down, like many do, Instead, they lift them in the fight. You know, the strong ones don't cry! They don’t bow down their heads. They don’t come to angels for coin change And do not steal someone else’s bread. You know, the strong ones do not cry! ... They howl at the moon, like wolves, About the confusion of good luck, About the pain of deep wounds. (C) 2008
