Cyclical nature of existence. Each withered flower and drooping stem narrates a tale of life's fleeting vibrancy and its inevitable transformation into something new.
Against the backdrop of muted snowy fields, sky and fading light, the sunflowers seem to embody the paradox of life springing forth from decay. In their desolation, they carry the legacy of the vibrant blossoms they once were, and from the preserved seeds that they carry, comes not only the embrace of death, but also the start of life itself. The image stands as a visual poem, reminding us that even in the most somber moments, there lies an inherent beauty and renewal waiting to be discovered.

The light in between the flowers represent the hope that guides 4o million Ukrainians through the past painful two years.
