Inner Self, 2022

After Russia (my homeland) invaded Ukraine (country I adore that I was visiting in childhood, and also home of many friends of mine) I worked on this project to reflect, but more likely to scream about pain, injustice and inner brokenness and rejection of self identity as russian, because I couldn't stand what my homeland did and continues doing at this exact moment.
