Небо пл(е/а)кало синім, so one might drown tonight…

aquarelles and inks,
colour pencils and graphites on papers and sheers,
integrated with the help of threads and of tissues,

2026 – ongoing process

“синій” [sýniy] in ukrainian language refers to the colour blue, the one of darker shades and deeper volumes, while “блакитний” [blakýtny] defines the light-blue...
By taking the roots of either of those colouring adjectives, one may achieve the nouns “синява” [sýniava] and “блакить” [blakýt'], both at times used as synonyms to such words as “haze”, “sky” (and other words imaginable) ...
“плакати” [plákaty] is the verb for “to cry”;

and that left me guessing what those mysterious warming layers could be (and of which colours/of which materials are they (made))?..
Could they from the beginning aim to help me circulate every Loved One I'm willing to carry in one’s heart deeply or were they meant to only sustain myself through the night,
yet then I chose to wear them out by vectoring my warmth in the direction of others,
and with the time the writing (that was before a produce of one’s warmth) shall now alleviate the stimulation of those layers’ heat?..
In the hung papers You may either observe those inner-warming layers skinned or the water pouring down over the window at night or one prior rained over the body,
already evaporating, or any other matters wanted by You…
Whatever seen is there for You, since those were made through thinking about Each of You, as it makes me warm to know You…
