Markovich creates figures of homeless people out of paper, pieces of wire, copper pipes and glue. The characters created by him have thin, long arms and legs, they are dressed in rumpled, shabby clothes. Some are accompanied by dogs, others carry what little they have: books, paintings, a bicycle… In a sculptural scene, a tattered pair of lovers run away hand in hand from a storm.

In another, a traveling musician carries his stringed instrument to another impromptu concert…
