Multidimensionality of reality

Each object or phenomenon has many facets - some overlapping projections. They can be from completely different areas or, conversely, complement each other. For example, let's take a bird for study as a visual unit that is well-established in our minds and find that it is a forest. Each feather is like a whole tree, and together they are a whole forest (see the picture on the left "Autumn Forest"). Or, on the contrary, as in the work “Bird of Spring”, I shot this story in the forest near a peat stream. This thaw in its shape resembles a real bird. Look, she has a spot of an eye and a certain gradient - a pattern on the back, like most ordinary birds. The role of paws here is played by twigs, which the wind carefully stuck into the snow. They look exactly like the real thing, don't they? Where is the bird in these works? And so in everything, in every object, sound, image. If we want to reach the level of truth, we must take into account all facets of reality, and not just those that are included in the circle of our concepts. And there are apparently an infinite number of such faces. Such a conclusion can be drawn from the example of the bird itself, which in culture symbolizes the image of true freedom! If we imagine reality as a multi-layered pie, then an artist in our time is a person who has his own tool with which he “dissects” this pie for study. In my opinion, the task of any person is to develop their own way of working with chaos. In theory, one of these tools can be meditation, which removes internal contradictions. My task as an author, as an artist, is not to show the viewer any one of the layers of this reality, but, as far as possible, to demonstrate the different layers of this pie.
