Masterpieces of Nature
It is difficult for human to realize the value of something not made by hand.
From the first days of his life, he is surrounded by a variety of living organisms and he has no opportunity in conscious age to receive such an impression from their contemplation, as from a miracle seen for the first time.

In our usual life, we do not think about the amazing complexity of the processes occurring inside living objects. A unique organism, like the unicity of its own body, is taken by man for granted. At the same time, we admire objects created by people. Meticulous and hard work is highly valued. Forming the basis of human creations, many creations of nature are being destroyed.
A series of posters «Masterpieces of Nature» has been created with the aim of making us think about the nature of every living thing on earth deeper. To help people understand the complexity and beauty of living organisms. Show how life flows in them. To comprehend the value of organisms, it is necessary to see how they work. After all, we precisely appreciate the creations of man because we understand that the serious work has carried out on them. Thus, the structure of the organisms and the processes occurring in them are shown on the posters in a simplified way, as if something similar could have been created by human being. The structure of the skeleton of an elephant looks like a moving mechanical construction. The simple scheme shows the metabolism, photosynthesis and other processes.
The images are complemented the inscriptions, the purpose of which is to present the well-known facts about the organisms in order to make the viewer think why he had not admired these creatures before. And also to make him think that there are no such creations created by man.
We are thinking about the importance of nature conservation in increasing frequency. But when we speak about the reasons for its conservation, we mostly call threats to ourselves: «we can remain without animals» «our air quality is getting worse.»
This series of posters offers a different look on the problem. To be more exact, a different look at nature itself. Offers to see the beauty and uniqueness in each of her creations. To realize how amazing the world is and how precious the creatures that inhabit it are.
Perhaps then, the destruction of living organisms – these «Masterpieces of Nature» – for the sake of material benefit and, moreover, for the sake of fun, will cease to be the norm of our mundanity.
