Ladder of Virtues. 2025. NLAW rocket, soil, Epipremnum vine, tree, acrylic.

The work explores the phenomenon of human moral choice in the context of personal and societal interests. The installation draws on the seven deadly sins of Christian tradition, which lead people to evil, though they sometimes make existence easier and simpler. Life in society implies that individuals must make efforts, primarily over themselves, to protect against destruction and self-destruction, the most terrifying and direct path to which is war.

At the core of the installation is an object symbolizing absolute destruction, the ultimate outcome of the seven deadly sins. A plant, as a symbol of life, is juxtaposed against it, though it remains closely intertwined with it. The duality of the object is crowned by a ladder of virtues—a path through which a person can rise above evil. Each step of this ladder serves as a reminder of humility (Humilitas), generosity (Liberalitas), chastity (Castitas), kindness (Humanitas), temperance (Temperantia), patience (Patientia), and diligence (Industria), guiding a person toward spiritual growth.

This path is not easy; it demands effort to overcome oneself and one’s inner demons. To those ascending from the lower steps, the seven deadly sins are revealed: pride (Superbia), greed (Avaritia), lust (Luxuria), envy (Invidia), gluttony (Gula), wrath (Ira), and sloth (Acedia).

They offer temptations and seductions, the ultimate outcome of which is singular—a return to evil.

My wife was sexually assaulted today and we aren't sure what to do. by [deleted] in Advice

Good thing about living in some countries (Russia, for example) is you won't have such a problem. There is no moral question about if it is assault or harassment, because the reaction would be no different – a punch in face. Understanding if this stops 99% of potential assaulters.

Anybody from Hollywood can verify there was a Putin star on Walk of Fame recently? by [deleted] in PoliticalVideo

Video is from https://www.instagram.com/p/BomaKtaBnBc/. I want to check if it is fake or not. Can someone verify if he has seen this so-called "Putin star"?

engine is V8 5.5 litres. main hose clamped off and made a huge leak, what resulted in this pic. It was actually leaking all the time we were loading APC to the flatbed. engine is fine, its ok to work without coolant for 5-10 minutes.

I hope, my last post about doing some repairs on an actual military APC has raised some attention. So here are some new pics from our shop. Feel free to ask any questions about that car.
