random doodles


no idea...

...no they aren't sperms

Arkangelsk

This is probably one of my favourite buildings, and it wasn't even built by an Architect, but a retired russian gangster in a small town in Russia's far north-western region. It shoots up to a staggering 13 floor structure (originally only being 2), apparently built over the course of 15 years, received a head load of criticism from neighbours and the community wants it down, which I honestly don't understand why. I mean, it's so beautiful. It makes me think it was built by a really crafty child trying to imitate the Kiyomizu-dera combed with a giant fairytale-like treehouse, where the floors, roofs and walls overlap and withstood a mild tornado.

...here I just tried finding ways of exploring and expressing the inner conflict in human nature.

These are some sketches for a sculpture I'm currently working on, has to do with the duality of human nature and the inner conflict of humans sense of good and evil- more details soon (with some pictures of the progress so far).
