“The days go by, the nights go by,
The summer's passing; yellow leaves
Are rustling; light deserts the eye,
Thoughts fade away and feeling sleep –
All falls asleep. And I don't know
If I'm alive, or but so-so,
Just floundering about the earth,
For I know neither rue nor mirth...”
Taras Shevchenko "The days go by" (fragment)
Тарас Шевченко "Минають дні, минають ночі"(фрагмент)
Translated by John Weir.
After the war began, our whole life turned into one continuous endless day, an endless terrible dream from which you want to wake up, but, unfortunately, everything that happens is not a dream, but a terrible reality, and beyond the window is impenetrable darkness. This is exactly what I have depicted in my artwork. A door behind which a peaceful life with a beautiful spring and summer was possible, but dreams were shattered by a cruel reality, an all-consuming haze gives a feeling of uncertainty, longing and hopelessness.
The spring that forever changed us, Ukrainians, has passed, the summer will also pass, everything is mixed up and every day we live with only one thought: "the war would soon end." Ukraine will win! But how much time and lives it will take is unknown! It is from the realization of this that it becomes scary.
