This was my therapy while staying awake and watching news as the Russian invasion to Ukraine began. An outlet for all the fear, hatred and frustration I felt on how this evil had not been stopped earlier and how innocents would once again suffer.

Yet, this time there was a glimmer of hope: at least now the whole world would see this evil – unmasked – all it’s greed, hatred and corruption, laid bare for everyone to see.

This is the first image from a planned series of three. I think I know the theme for the next one and I sincerily hope to be able finish the series on a higher note – but those works are still years away.

Until then – Slava Ukraini!
