I have been writing poetry since I was teenager. Perhaps, some lines I will include in my future book. I created a cover for my book, using my etching "Time Loop".

I submitted it this year, early spring for the International Poster competition 2023. For a words, last year I submitted my another graphic for this competition for the first time. At the beginning of this year, I received an invitation to apply for my work this year as well. So, I thought, why not? I have exactly an idea and I decided to check - if it works. But, this year too, I was not selected for the final. BUT, to be among 8,849 contestants from 108 countries, whose works are evaluated -  it is definitely important to me! Relatively few of this huge number application made it to the finals. Even though I did not make it, I should say - I still like my idea. It is black - yes, but I like it. I do not know, if I will realize my book. Time and money - two big quantities...

The thought is as sad as my reflections on great questions are now - for me. Who knows - maybe another time, another reflections, emotions will come...

• I would like to say my BIG THANK to A.ZARIŅA STAMP FABRIC in Latvia, for helping me put my idea in the right formats!
