Inspired by my childhood and love for animal kingdom I created a visual story about a journey to imagined parallel world which exist with our own. In these utopian world other rules apply and animals and humans exist in harmony.

Animals are shown in allegorical meaning, sometimes depicting personified characters, in a world where they are the main protagonists of the story. They create a link between the man made surroundings and fragile natural environment. Emphasizing the importance of animal world, they bring harmony and raise environmental awareness, they merge urbanization and history with serene nature, but also show us the different point of view on the world around us.
