Damage from the Beautiful

How are love and art similar? They wound, cleansing the soul in the crucible of passions, providing new life experiences. 

The heroes of Ilya Zolotukhin's texts, not strangers to art and love, fear action and life, contenting themselves with impressions and experiences of the moment. 

But despite their unwillingness and resistance, episodic meetings, partings, and casually spoken words compose complete narratives, full of beauty (sometimes in a Baudelairean sense) and high tragedy.
