Gods are born when human consciousness is absolutely open to the creation of new metaphorical forms. And as soon as human imagination gives birth to images of future deities, an irresistible desire to give them a physical appearance takes over us.

By embodying idols in material, we endow them with special powers, capabilities and qualities that carry a sacred meaning that is so important for us mortals. We worship the gods, ask them for protection and patronage, compose legends about them, pray. But, in the end, we consign them to oblivion. Only barely preserved myths remain about the gods, which are told less and less often.

On this ancient ritual salt circle, some gods and lower beings, born long ago by the restless mind of one child, are arranged in a sacred order.

You sometimes involuntarily recall these gods, using, it would seem, familiar to you, phraseological units of the Russian language.
So, let's honor their memory!

*A series of four sculptures dedicated to the personal transformation of the meanings of familiar phraseological units of the Russian language. Each of the sculptural objects is a forgotten God, into the basis of whose legend one of the phraseological units is embedded.
