ABSTRACT
In the beginning there was an idea, which came to me whilst I was watching the movie, Stalker. It is a movie from 1979, directed by Andrej Tarkovskij, and I really enjoyed it. The movie is one of those films that is quite hard to understand. The environments in this movie are just awesome. At the end of the film there is a nice scene where the whole family is walking on the shore of a lake with a nuclear power plant in the background. The scene is a bit foggy and has dirty, old snow on the shores, and it is so gray and depressing, just as eastern Europe and Russia once was. This was my initial inspiration and the reason behind the creation of my work, Heritage. Although, in the end, my image was quite different to the picture painted by the film, Stalker, but it did remain as my starting point throughout. Another important element in the picture is the presence of the transmission towers, which are so romantic during the sunset, and I really like these kinds of structures. So my first inspiration was the nuclear power plant from Stalker, followed by the transmission towers.
