Description

Solakov donated this drawing in 2013 and wrote the following notes to accompany the work: "At that time Vessi and Dimmi, our daughter and son, had just been born (in 1986 and 1987). It seems that the little figure/baby refers to them. I wish I can say that the rest symbolizes the dictatorship in Bulgaria ( ;- ), but it is not. Those are just forms and shapes."
