A 45-year-old Russian man travels through Poland with a circus. One night, he lets the animals out of their cages and watches in delight as the tigers, camels, and elephants walk through the market square of the sleepy town. The next day, he loses his job. He begins traveling on his own and meets Angela and the Kid. They start to perform on the streets together. The Master throws knives, Angela assists him and the kid plays the accordion. The Master wants to get to Paris, where he thinks his artistry will be appreciated.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
