Instagammas
The full name of the series - «Instagammas or Essays on graphic humiliation».
The name Instagammas comes from two words: «Instagram» and «gamma» (russian for the «scale»). These are kind of experiments in which I was trying to achieve the highest possible density while using just basic graphic methods.
Disregarding the size of the paper piece, all the drawings have the square in the left and the sign on the right. Thus repeating signs in a way refrain the whole series. The pictures were mostly drawn with a pen or a qalam on the pieces of paper of approximately 30x20 сm size, there are two pieces of bigger format, 61x84 сm, drawn with a few strokes of a wide brush.
