We’re mired by thirst for sacred things –
Through gloomy desert did I wander,
And then the seraph with six wings
To me appeared at crossroads yonder.
I felt his dainty fingers’ graze,
As in a dream, my pupils’ haze:
Now opened prophet’s eyes enlightened
Like those of eagle when he’s frightened.
He touched my earlobes after this –
My ears were filled with noise and hiss:
I heeded then the heavens’ shiver,
The lofty angels flying free,
Vile creature’s way beneath the sea,
The valley’s vineyards’ windblown quiver.
And then my feeble lips he scratched,
Away my sinful tongue he snatched –
My tongue, so wicked and so idle –
And in its place the snake’s forked tips
Inserted ’twixt my lifeless lips
With bloody hand, like bit and bridle.
He cut with sword my heaving breast,
Threw out my heart as it vibrated,
And then a burning coal he pressed
Into the space he’d thus created.
In desert like a corpse I lay,
God spoke with words I must obey:
“Arise, O prophet, pay attention,
Do all that I’ve commanded you,
O’er land and sea with seer’s contention
Afflict the hearts of people too.”

Andrey Saharov is a contemporary artist and mathematician based in Moscow. His fascination with fractals and patterns in dynamical systems has deeply influenced his artistic journey, particularly in the realm of classical string art. Saharov’s work merges mathematical precision with creative expression, allowing him to transition from creating symmetric circular patterns to producing photorealistic images within a circle—a process that requires extensive research and calculus.
In recent years, Saharov has innovated string art by developing a technique that eliminates the need for nails within the workspace, significantly advancing the traditional approach. His unique method, characterized by intricate detail and remarkable accuracy, has led to the development of his own distinctive style. This style is not only technically refined but also deeply symbolic, as reflected in the carefully chosen subjects of his works. Through his art, Saharov continues to explore the intersection of mathematics and creativity, crafting pieces that are both visually stunning and intellectually profound.
