Oleksandr Aksinin made this small print called 'Exlibris of Mariyka Schur' sometime around 1981. The dark and light are very active, giving the impression that a ghostly being might be appearing within a tower. The tower itself looks like it has different compartments with curious items contained within. What is it like to be inside this tower? I wonder if Aksinin was thinking about his own mind when he was making it. What are all the things we keep inside ourselves? It seems like so much is going on in there. Even though the print is small and still, it feels like there's a whole universe contained within. Isn't that how it always is? We all carry worlds inside us, inspiring each other.
