The author found inspiration for the artwork in a snake that swims on the river surface and searches for its partner with each sunrise. The author compared such a romantic phenomenon on the surface of the river with mental awareness, spiritual growth and return to the community, and regaining the inner peace that man lost during the pandemic. Because we are social beings, we need the closeness of other people. The work consists of many textile objects, all of which together form a whole. Snake shapes are made from recycled paper, over which they are wrapped with miles of polyester or wool yarn.
