Watercolor on paper

In October 2022 russians attacked one more nuclear power station in the Mykolaiv region. A

video from a local camera had a big impact, like one more shocking point from thousands of

others that I will remember from this war. Because I’m from Mykolaiv, my grandparents live in

the Mykolaiv region, and my cousin lives and works near the nuclear power plant. That’s why it

touched me so.

This art is about fragility. How fragile is our system, how weak are we, and how delicate is nature?

I saw nuclear weapons tests on YouTube. One video also depicted gulls or sterns who were

shocked by the explosion. They rise into the air, and they don’t know what to do, they fly near the

beach. And they will die later. One second, invisible threat. Just a tiny moment that will change

everything.
