Behind The Red Line
My main field of activity for the last 20 years was medicine. So, the theme, I was always reflected on, is inner experience of person working in extremal medicine, where daily work is connected to human suffering, pain and death as well as risk and high responsibility. This topic had not been widely discussed until pandemia COVID-19 focused peoples' attention on medical problems. This inspired me to create «Behind the Red Line» series, which is dedicated to the work in operating block, closed object, which entrance is marked by the Red Line. Anyone who crosses this line, whether he is a patient or a doctor, falls into the zone of inner anxiety, emotional and physical tension. Everything happening here resembles a theatrical scene, where all the characters perform allotted roles.
