This work was made inspired by the sculpture Germans Eagle of W. Lemke; the original sculpture was placed on the roof of the Tempelhof Airport in Berlin 1940. Today, just the head of the whole sculpture stays on the postament a front of the same Airport.
In the time of the Third Rich, the sculpture was its symbol. But after that, in the time of the cold war, the airport Tempelhof was Berlin's only contact with the world, so the same sculpture became the symbol of the "Air Bridge". It affects to change its demonized history in symbol of humanity aid and link between the nations.
The map, 1913

Chupovski made this map as an addition to the Memorandum sent to the Great Powers and their ambassadors priori to the political division of Macedonia in 1913. It was meant to show that Macedonia represented a geographical and ethnical whole, and that its division would be the greatest tragedy that could befall the Macedonians.
