The work is done with watercolor paints and ink on watercolor paper. The painting depicts a woman with a jug. It's empty, just like her life. Next to it is written the text of an ancient Russian folk song, which describes thoughts about a difficult fate and about the desire to change yourself and your life.
Fly, a feather, through the field,
Brush away, feather, my little bitterness.
Wipe the dust off my face.
Transform, become my wing.
I wish I had wings like a falcon.
I would have strength like a pebble.
I would like brothers like a tree.
I would like life, from a new leaf.
