"View 3" is a limited edition museum-quality fine art print from my series "Images of the World". The edition includes only 5 items. To create this work, I combined my scanned hand-made drawings with digital graphics. The print is made with giclée technique in archival quality on world-recognized Hahnemühle paper.

"View 3" is one of the three drawings initially included (in smaller size) into my sculpture "Images of the World". In the sculpture, where the drawing comes from, there are three human figures standing in front of a neutral white screen, and each of them projects an individual picture onto it. On the one hand, I raise the question of the power of personal, individual projection, the ability of each of us to color the world as we choose. On the other hand, it touches on the topic of constantly changing common, conventional human pictures of the world, which we collectively project on the Universe.

"View 3" refers to the contemporary picture of the world. This is my graphical interpretation of the M-theory. The M-theory is considered to be one of the main candidates for the "theory of everything". For example, Stephen Hawking had high hopes for it, seeking to fully explain the Universe. Most of the great physicists and cosmologists strive to find a beautiful, simple description of the world that can "explain everything" - by combining the Quantum theory and the General Relativity into one system.

As a basis for the drawing, I took one of the most intriguing branches of M-theory, which predicts the Multiverse. In this version, each of the infinite set of universes is a membrane floating in a common eleven-dimensional space. These membranes oscillate and can collide with each other. At the point of collision, a Big Bang occurs, and a new Universe is born. According to this theory, our Universe was also born in the collision of two giant membranes, which occurred 13.7 billion years ago.
