War becomes ashock that facilitates self-discovery through suffering: By revealing hidden weaknesses hidden strengths arise. That is why it is important to focus not only on the pain of the present, but also hope for the future – and document that. Within this framework, I seek to record my reflections as an artist who was forced to leave Ukraine, but remains inextricably linked with the ordeal of my country through a common artery of pain.
