A still life featuring a branch of orchids, with white droplets oozing from their phallic pistils, explores the unity of opposites: curved petals, reminiscent of feminine forms, contrast with the pistils releasing a semen-like substance.

This visual metaphor connects the fragility of nature with the vigor of civilization—as if Moscow artists, arriving in Altai, pollinate its landscapes with creativity, engaging in a dialogue with the wild harmony of the region.

The local context is amplified by the diversity of Altai’s orchids, whose presence in the work evokes biodiversity as a symbol of interpenetration: masculine and feminine, urban and natural dissolve in a cycle of mutual creation, where each droplet becomes a gesture of fertilization through ideas, and every curve of the branch—a reminder of the fragile equilibrium that art strives to preserve.
