The series of sculptures titled "Pony-Wolf Second Generation" presents wolf-pony hybrids. The form prototype for each of the seven "Pony-Wolf Second Generation" sculptures is the largest wolf-alpha ever recorded. The color palette is modeled after the fairy tale Pony ponies. "Pony-Wolf Second Generation" deals with the impact of human activity on the environment. This impact takes an extreme form, distorting and giving an unreal character to phenomena and objects. In this context, "Pony-Wolf" raises questions from the field of market mechanisms, where the multiplication of objects reflects the needs of artificially generated consumption in a broad sense.
"Pony-Wolf" deliberately avoids referring to itself as a pack, choosing instead to identify itself as Generation - a term taken from toy pony collectors.
"Pony-Wolf" touches on areas of stereotypical evaluation of beings.
