Self Portrait with Three-Day Weekend Mandala, 2005

The Project Three-Day Weekend (Sunday, Saturday, Friday) unites a social dream (a 30-hours work week) and ecumenical utopias (peaceful co-existence of all faiths, including atheism, within a secular state). Three-Day Weekend is my vision of symbolist images which can play a role of visual propaganda of these dreams and utopias. Everybody is welcome to join Three-Day Weekend society! All members, including artists, could send me proposals or suggestions on how to accomplish this lofty future of humanity.
