I tried to describe the malaise, the anxiety and pressure I face sometimes and the first thing I thought was it's like having a mountain instead head. A mountain pressing on me, cold as winter, opaque and enormous. Then I saw a photo with some strange clouds, clouds coming as a bad feeling, surrounding you like a cloak and this photo inspired me for the composition. The low poly geometric shapes mean the eternal project stage, mean all those unresolved things, the deadlock, the limits.
