Artwork description:

The Word that brought a human out of the depth of evolutionary turbulence. The Word is weaved with several kilometers of continuous string, symbolizing the continuity of cognition and an infinite number of relationships between different Why's. The word that certainly deserves these poetry by Lev Gumilyov (Translation by Eugene Bonver):_x000D_ _x000D_ In the days when the God eternal_x000D_ Was declining face to the new world,_x000D_ By the Word they stopped the sun’s inferno,_x000D_ And destroyed the towns by the Word._x000D_ _x000D_ And an eagle was falling at the ground,_x000D_ Stars were backing to the moon in fright,_x000D_ If, as made from orange flames a cloud,_x000D_ Word was sailing in the heaven’s height._x000D_ ...._x000D_ _x000D_ The original string art technique that created this stunning piece involves wrapping several kilometers of a continuous mono-thread around an evenly spaced circle of 200 aluminum pins. The thread cross, re-cross, and crisscross a circular area above the flat wooden board. The image within the circle is achieved by the painstaking and complex choice of thousands of connections between the pins. After the first 30 connections that make up the image, the number of possible knitting variants exceeds the number of atoms in the Universe! So it’s simply impossible to reproduce this artwork by guesswork or to untangle it with your mind..._x000D_ _x000D_ Just think, by what kind of magic does the same string that produces only random noise around the image suddenly condense and accurately repeats the complex shape? That's quite amazing... As if by the creator's plan, the string meticulously draws the figure in the air, and from this unifying beginning, the entire piece is interconnected... even the smallest element is an inseparable part of the whole, which brings up deep symbolic meaning to the artwork.
