INVADERS. 2022 - present.
Why draw dead invaders?
It is difficult to have compassion for them, for they came by war to a foreign land. But it is necessary to remember them as well. War has become commonplace, stale news. Nothing is over yet, or maybe it's just the beginning, but the displacement is already at work, making war a distant thing.
The war must be stopped!
MARIUPOL DRAMA THEATRE.
2023
Since 2015, I have been drawing with a 3-D pen the buildings destroyed by Russian military equipment.
It is my way of preserving the memory of the events we witnessed and participated in.
