Julia Liubina

This work is about tenderness and care, the need to be protected. Tender flowers uprooted symbolize a family of refugees who left their hometown and found refuge abroad. The multi-colored spots on the umbrella represent the flags of the countries that took us under protection.

Three arches symbolize the passage of time. The tree is the past, which has already given its fruits. An uncertain future is a veil that will never be revealed to us. The horse represents the constant movement of the present, the force of life that carries the rider here and now.

I felt a huge contrast when I left Odessa, where the alarm went off on the phone several times and in those moments it was as if you were pressed by the sky and you physically felt its metallic weight. And now in Romania you look at the clear, safe sky and find yourself in an incredible state of elation.

Rockets leave such trails in the sky. Vulnerable lives at this time hide behind thin walls in the hope of protection.

Life fate The beginning and the end. How much was measured for us? Is it enough? Did you count well there on the mountain? Or maybe it's all sudden sadness? Who or what is this power that has taken responsibility for such decisions?

Where did such powerful forces suddenly come from? Is it the depth of the generations of our ancestors that push us to action from the inside? Is it our fertile land that nurtured will and courage? One day, superheroes woke up in our country.
