For many years she has been living and working in Suzhou (China). From the first days of the war the artist began to keep an art diary of the war.
Kyiv. 25th day of the war. The smell of burning and air raid alert. I have videoсall with my mom and hear sirens, then I hear an explosion. The window panes survived thank God. I remember that from the window of my room in my previous life I always looked at the forest and lakes, and somewhere behind the forest was Irpin, and Bucha, small green peaceful cities, now everything is destroyed there. Then I think about Mariupol. Every damn day I think about Mariupol, that giant firefly grave.
