Once Yuriy wanted to make a card on his boots. Made a sketch. I pasted paper on ordinary tarpaulin boots and covered them with a special varnish to protect them from dust and moisture. A gloss of varnish suddenly appeared on the paper, similar to the gloss of porcelain - this is how he got the idea of making boots from porcelain. And the soldier's boot is a symbolic object of the 20th century. There is an impressive series where Yuri quotes the Suprematist works of Malevich; and the soldier's boot is a symbolic object of the 20th century.
