Диалог с деревом длиною в жизнь

Why I began collecting, and what a piece of wood can say about time.

These works come from my personal collection, gathered over many years of travel, study, and daily life. Each piece of wood carries its own history — shaped by time, water, and the natural world.

I do not look for perfect pieces. I look for pieces that are honest about what happened to them: the flood that turned them, the insect that hollowed them, the resin that sealed a wound.

Through this private museum, I hope to share the beauty and spirit of these works with friends around the world.
