Since the beginning of the war, after I was able to go back to work, I thought about what I would like to do if it were the last day of my life. And I realized that what I would have liked to do most of all was still work, but to paint only flowers. After that, when I got back to full-time work in the spring, I started painting this project, in order to contribute my share to help my country with what I do best.
I started this project in spring when my mother had to leave her house for a friend on the left bank of the Dnipro river, because Bucha and Irpen, whose horrors you must have heard about, are so close to her house that she could see the columns of smoke rising from the forest which is visible from her windows. When I lived with my mother a few years ago, I used to walk to Irpen to walk my dog. The Zhytomyr highway is a 15 minute walk from our house. And it was there that civilian cars were found, shot, with dead people inside.
My mother heard automatic rifle shots and artillery. She held on for a long time, but had to leave when artillery shells started flying over the house, and one day, such a shell hit the house next door and mom was scared for herself.
I am luckier than my mother, I live with my boyfriend closer to the center of the city in the area we call Podol. Yes, I've heard automatic weapons and artillery too, but the scariest sounds are rocket hits. I caught such as hitting the Retroville Trade Center, the Artyom factory, one night I woke up from the explosion of a downed rocket near the Lukyanovskaya metro station.
Now I often wake up to the sounds of anti-aircraft defense. There was one really scary morning in October, when rockets flew into the center of the city (playground, glass bridge).
And then the strikes on our infrastructure started and I could hear rockets whizzing over the house, hear kamikaze drones being shot down, and how they exploded hitting our TECs. These incidents are already happening closer to my house.
The worst part is waking up to all these sounds. It's not as scary during the daytime.
All the mockups for the project are done in the fall. I work a lot at night because we have two or three blackouts every day because Russian missiles are blowing up our power stations. But I'm glad that I'm able to work at all, that I still have a place to live and I haven't suffered any injuries, and so far I'm only getting by with a daily state of anxiety.
That's why I chose foundations that help people who have lost everything they have in general. And foundations that help our army, because only thanks to the army and the help of our Western partners, who provide us with weapons, I am still alive and able to work.
