     For a long time when we with my generation is difficult and slow doroslishaly, was a new aspect pryvyvannya younger humanistic goals - environmental education. At the time we caught upbringing love animals, our smaller brethren. We were zanuryuvano to the mass flow of Russian animation, rules of social behavior, we studied the method pidspudnoho and unconscious copying the behavior of the wolf "Well weather. Hare represents for us right now, artful things with dytsadkovymy teachers, school teachers, zhovtenyatko-pioneerdom and university parallel reality in which to study the humanities is that meant to engage in self-education. Wolf represents the eternal opposition.

     We doroslishaly in the world where the possibility of metaphysical perception was identical with the preservation of good sense and humanity optics asked hedgehogs, which through the fog to find horizons could actually not hyzhoyi not absurd. His aesthetics talked to us and we de profundis vsluhalysya it through all the mental hlushylky the late Brezhnev era and even further - marasmus era, erected in totalnist. His utterance inspired so much hope is not lost in the dream life that hedgehogs to see the stars at the end of his initiation, his Odyssey. It is also important, and it was not invisible to us that the way they look in the mirror musyv lake, found themselves in themselves.

     As environmental education is important that we now know that from year to year ice on the planet is becoming smaller. To see him live, you should go to the city, as to see antelope, must go to the zoo.

     For several years in Ukraine held ice festivals. In season, when the other side the world uncontrollably toplyatsya ice of Antarctica, nezvorotno denudative dream of mankind of evergreen continent, as indicated at oldest maps, then copied Oronteusom Finiusom or Mercator in Lviv snows melting in the summer only and not melting in our hearts. We nurtured the ice - this season or any other. Because it is a sculpture - zatverdloyu opinion in form, graphics - drawing shapes on the windows and other surfaces in space such as a snowflake, which wrote the treatise Galileo, and memory - it keeps everything clean immunity.

     Panta reyi fill the transparent mirror plastic ice. Metamorphosis water ice - is actually a mirror of metamorphosis in the picture. Look, immersed in water PLESO risks remain there, zastryahnuty or be involved someone whom you can raise up, looking in the abyss. It is gone you see. A zbudyvshy someone you obudzhayesh something in themselves or someone, some spirit in you wakes. Daemon, as Socrates called it, but now falsely interpret as his conscience. This ocean of you, this world without traffic chaos, but chaos of thought, the world of the Big Bang, Icy emptiness, which is just born something like the idea creator, artist, musician, is still not born. And you can feel the spring only empty space is flat, but now spread.

     Lead was from the very beginning, life begins with tayannya ice, but he had before the stagnation of water or any substance, whether someone will LePen like clay, like life, will live after stopytsya last drop and fall? And the hand - a Tesla, and piolet matter, this wood Aristotle - the absolute, universal ice. It laid all the images of all the possibilities, it is flexible inside, not as a tree that has its own structure, not as clay, which has yet to bake. He can only deduct the ice. He - the stone and the water simultaneously. Lead - a metaphysical monument. Movement - is temperature. Ideal ice - yaknayholodnishyy. But at the absolute zero, at a temperature of 0 kelvin electrons freezes and stop moving, the absolute zero - a stop sign in all directions. Matter ceases to exist. So the matter - again, nothing really, and all again depends on hand movements and angles, under which the cutter enters the material. The movement brings the hammer, which breaks on stamestsi, hammer sculptor.

     Water - not completely and environment with which the sculptor worked so far. But in the capital Galyts all possible. Check, people and angels stiffened, after sight of Medusa, who decided to change the climate of the Mediterranean and now lives in the cave art at the end of the Armenian and vylitatyme every year to catch sight of all possible metamorphosis of invisible spirits makabr or other fantastic creatures and immortal that the last fifteen years are coming to promenade gallery "Dziga" or Bernardenharden, underground down to Olesja Dzyndry. It cares about Medusa tourist flows. She keep tourists Italy, Greece, vypasala their cultural needs, like a diligent shepherd his flock. But times changed, the new millennium changed the mainstream, and she knows: a new tourist Gulfstream now make them here - on Virmenku to Lviv to the top. Together with it here goes ice queen, looking for Prince in elite art-VLODKAUFMANA, Lavrina, Linika, I wish you could have anyone. Cultural them as of Medusa or Ice Queen with tales also inherent patriotism. Their homeland is now here.

     Now they inspire Khoroshko, Barabash, Weiden, Petlyuka same Dzyndru now Oresta. They kam'yaniyut face, opinions, all ideas and plans, such plans for the day and remain masks, which shall at the city brutsi shape, then you can see pictured on the sites. Concept melting as the melting of speech and sculpture, body parts - hands, eyes and wings. Do not lose the dream of ice cold in Marek not lose muse-medusa, which is the tourists and our ecological, now education. And unknown creature in heaven rozbyvatymut more mirrors Ice Queen Ice chip will keep our eyes and hearts, because without them we do not vtyamymo in the eternal cold aesthetics.

     Each of us have this chip as a symbol. Actually it cold - is the eternal substance of peace and movement, the basic element of the universe, the first brick in it. This absence while presence of all that we want, because all account for the cold. Once this place was still empty - now there sculpture. But the more she melteth, water goes into the ground. What remains? Place and the possibility of new sculptures. Sculpture melt, because it is in the nature of things. Cold claims cycles of nature and he overcomes them, because the cold in nature is ever present, such a permanent basis, the foundation of things. Cold gives us the horror and overcomes it. It account for, however, clear. All frozen vytayuye purity, overcoming any semblance of even nayzaskoruzlishu form, because melting in the mud. It overcomes all the prejudices and dochasni abomination, for making mirror. This qualitatively changed the ice - he is calling us. This dialectic ...

     Cold - a vacuum, a place for everything, the temperature of space. He is not silent. What he says? Come to the Museum Square, the top - take a look. Here spirits speak with the creators.
