Love is shorter than war Series:

A series of works that became a salvation for me. It is the sublimation of my feelings about the end of my first relationship. Through this series, 1 allowed all the emotions that my partner had suppressed in me to break free. In the six works, you can trace the sequence of the story. The first ones are more chaotic and careless, a complete fountain of emotions, as the relationship initially developed very rapidly. Then, the works become more compositionally structured and meaningful, as it took much more time to come to terms with these stages. This is a story about betrayal. Your loved one leaves you for your friend. In all the works, except for the last one, if you look closely, you can always notice three figures. symbolizing the third wheel in the relationship. Through this series, I want to convey to the viewer how painful betrayal can be, especially the first time.
