What is the composition "ILLUSIONS" about?
"The composition "ILLUSIONS" expresses the feelings that a person faces in his everyday life. We take many things for granted - peace, relationships, freedom, work, study, help...in other words, some kind of certainty hat creates our seemingly perfect world...until the moment until this world of ours gradually and often subtly starts to collapse like a house of cards. It comes slowly, but all the more intense. Suddenly we have to face circumstances, inner confusion and we are forced to think: Is this world even real? Gradually we lose illusions about the facts that we believed in and suddenly we have to face reality: What is an illusion and what is reality?"
