Rank and file resemble each other only outwardly.
Actually, everyone is driven by and
torn apart by their own passions, fears and
ambitions. The sense of joy and happiness is
individual, as well. Each rank and file member
has got his task in life. We all belong to
rank and file.
The material of my work is polyethylene which
is used for making garbage bags. By means
of silk screen printing I imparted gilding to
them, but melting revealed fragility of the
material.
