from the series "The Forgotten World", "The Forgotten World. The House Halfway"

Two-tone illustration conveys the internal stratification between the past and the present. The left fragment is warm memory filled with life: a blooming garden, swingset, house where children once laughed. The right half is a distorted reflection of the same scene, but in cold tones, with a collapsed porch, fallen boards, and the silence of destruction.

The color palette plays a key role: yellow-orange tones symbolize warmth, life, and light, while blue-gray tones represent loss, silence, and the cold of time. This visual "split" evokes an emotional response, reminding us how thin the line is between "was" and "has become."
