I wrote this poem back in 2015, when Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was shot on a Moscow bridge very close to the Kremlin. To me, the very fact that this was possible marked a tipping point in my native Russia's contemporary history. Even though I had moved to Western Europe years before, the murder of the charismatic Boris Nemtsov wounded me so deep I couldn't sleep for weeks. I wrote this poem on one of those sleepless nights.

The poem describes another Russia, existing somewhere out there, in an infinite multitude of parallel worlds. Another Russia, where Boris Nemtsov did become president, where there is no fear hanging in the air, where no one screams into the gaping emptiness. Another Russia, where lovers kiss right next to the Kremlin (Nemtsov was on a date with his girlfriend when he was shot) and catch Nemtsov's eye as he walks home from work every evening.

7 years later, Russia invaded Ukraine almost on the same day Nemtsov was killed, at the very end of the shortest month of the year. I have decided to turn my poem into an animation, as a gift of love and hope for all my friends who dare to stand up against the war.

You can hear my voice reading the poem if you turn the sound on.

Children_behind_Glass collection on KnownOrigin

An artistic protest against crippling government control over childhood.

This collage series is inspired by the burning issue of thousands of children being taken away from their parents in The Netherlands, many of them locked up in closed institutions. At the same time, it's devoted to all oppressed and unheard kids, anywhere.

The collection includes the main animation (a 12 second loop, mp4) and several still portraits (png), all based on Dutch Renaissance art. With this project, I want to express hope that the new renaissance unleashed in the digital realm today may help children regain their voices.

It’s a very personal project as my own children were born in Amsterdam. We had to leave The Netherlands as a family because of the country’s zero tolerance towards unschooling and self-directed fulfillment. More about the project
