My art project is a creative study of human nature on the subject of soul-body dualism, the influence of religious dogmas on the human behavioral model, the creation of needs and values.
A rather audacious combination of the naked body and the elements of the temple is the desire to show that these two masterpieces (nature and architecture) are not only not in conflict with each other, but also harmoniously complement. But is society ready to accept people who have exposed the soul and body or consider it immoral?
It is known that in antiquity temples were built according to the proportions of the human body. The temple for the ancient Christians was the image of man. Considering ourselves as palaces and temples, we should not forget about what we fill with them, and not be one of the millions of destroyed, abandoned temples – living, but empty shrines.
