I created this design back in early 2022. He was very important to me. In it I tried to reflect my broadest feelings. This is not the same as depicting a predatory nature, as for example in bear yoke. In this pattern I wanted to reflect my feelings of the province. These are very broad feelings. I wanted to draw the border between nature and civilization. I think this border is in the province. This design contains both my feelings and patterns of the ancient peoples of Siberia and some chaos of nature. But also the forces that combine all this into something very dense and strong. These feelings are very difficult to portray. I don’t know if I succeeded or not, only you can judge about it. But this is my favorite sweater for the past year.
