Artist's commentary
She lighted the first match, see the lost homeland;
She lighted the second match, see the great ideals;
She lighted the third match, see those aerospace pioneers with ideals from the homeland;
She lighted the fourth match, see the long-losting Buran.
She afraided of these dreamy things disappear when the matches go out,
then she lighted a whole bunch of matches and wanted them to stay with her.
She died with a smile at last,
no one knows the beatiful scene she saw at the last moment of her life.
