Garden of Silence. Family (17 × 17 inches), 2025 year

Here, the apple tree becomes more than just a tree — it is an image of the Tree of Life. Its branches form a natural canopy over the family, like a quiet sanctuary. Beneath it rests the human offspring — children who have yet to walk their own paths. The golden sunflowers surrounding them turn toward the sun, like souls turning toward the Source of Light. Thus, the entire garden becomes an image of God’s world, where the family rests beneath the shelter of love, while the children’s peaceful sleep reminds us of the purity and innocence entrusted to humanity.
