For me, the most important piece of this project is its freedom in canon that Schelest demonstrated to us, since the ability to create a world without concrete figures is very difficult. This numerical, rhythmical, harmonic world that Anatoly has created is a proof of great artistic ability. This artist creates a world that is boundless. In this work, we can see a surprising depth and it requires an aesthetic distance, just like the words of Paul Tzelan, or Josef Brodsky, or Haim Byalik – to this list we can add many more outstanding names. When placed within this piece, the association to poetry and music comes naturally.
