FRAME OF RESEARCH

The “Apocalypse” is a term typically used to refer destruction or damage on a catastrophic scale and the end of humankind.
“APOCALIPSIS” is a project of ethnic designs of kites with painted figures on. It is an allegorical ascending / descending from the sky interactive message that attempts to inspire sensitivity about socio-political, environmental and economic present events that can lead to the “doomsday” crisis.
The “Four Horsemen” are symbols painted on the kites, a reminder of the unscrupulous human activity on our planet while the painted “Seven Angels” are the symbols of messengers of this revelation.
