I find the hypothesis intriguing that Water is a sentient substance on Earth that receives signals from the Ether and converts them into psychic energy. Our existence is not independent, and we rely heavily on Water, among other things, making it difficult to deny its importance. We inhabit a living planet with an intelligent ocean where Water is a form of life, as portrayed in the Strugatskys' "Solaris." Essentially, we are nothing but carriers of particles of its intellect.

The foundation for this project was derived from observing human interactions with water in the beach area. A considerable amount of time was spent sketching people on the beach, eventually forming the basis of my paintings. I aspired to refine my work and make it more concise during the process. To achieve this, I eliminated minor elements from my work, leaving only the most critical components. This minimalist approach simplified the composition and created a more impactful and powerful visual effect. The background was created first as a blank canvas for the central elements. After that, using the sketches I had prepared earlier, I constructed the focus of the painting, carefully considering how each element would interact with the background and each other.

The changes we have made to the Earth could be a warning of future disasters. As an artist, I always try to highlight the presence of light in every work in a broader sense. This light could be our only hope in these dark times, and we need to identify with it precisely. I see this series of paintings as bold and surreal revelations that can help us consider new views of reality and reflect a unified picture of the world, where everything is infinitely interconnected.
