About the artwork
Here is a picture of a forest in the village of Prokhorivka, where I have a summer house. In which I arrived with my family and dog at the beginning of a full-scale attack. We didn't want to leave Kyiv, but my dog from the dog shelter forced us to go there not so loudly from the explosions. My dog had epilepsy, one of the triggers for which was loud noises. I was not able to finish the work and draw the steel pipes that punch the landscape of Ukraine because my dog died in Sweden, due to a series of incedents caused by the attack of the russians..
I had to go to the forest to get wood for heating, and in the first days I looked for holes where I could hide from rockets or if russion coming, because we didn't have a bomb shelter. At that time, I was in touch around the clock and read the news without stopping and received information about how to help and who needed help. My friend and I worked with a variety of help, and also with coordination help in evacuating people from a certain region in Ukraine. And I had to be always in touch, because people who need help do not have a mobile phone or internet connection being in the occupation, it was blocked by russion. In order to call them, they had to risk their lives, sometimes under fire, to go out into the field and catch the signal of mobile operators.
I depicted that pause when I could sit to answer all the messages of my friends with whom we worked together and stayed in different places of Ukraine. And sometimes, looking at the sky, I saw rockets flying towards Kyiv.
