Space is the ultimate playground. In it, I have invented a new form of fun - Space-surfing. Children enjoy a feeling of zero gravity, hovering around the Moon, flying next to symbols of technology – spaceships and satellites.

These works are meant to convey a feeling of weightlessness, of playfulness, of freedom. The titles further emphasize the theme of the content and creation process – "Moon surfing", "Playing with Gravity", and "Weightless fun".

The technique I used also reflects a combination of playing around with materials, images, surfaces, transparencies, markers and technology. The backdrops of the works are pages from an old book about Space. On the book page, I placed painted transparencies with colored images of children. These, in turn, are based on photos of my own daughter I took with my new 48MBs Smartphone camera. Lastly, I arrange the materials in a household scanner to give life to the final collages.
