Times of Yesterday and Today. The Future Sounds "Complicated"

Context and Symbolism
The work "Ukraine on Hold" explores an extremely current and sensitive subject: the conflict in Ukraine. The artist uses powerful symbols to express the nation's struggle, the fragility of peace, and the emotional impact of war: Representing innocence and childhood, it becomes a vulnerable witness to violence, symbolizing the innocent victims of war. The fact that it is "sightless" (without eyes) may signify a loss of clarity or a sense of helplessness in the face of invasion. The yellow and blue background resonates with Ukraine's national identity, highlighting both the beauty and the vulnerability of the country. The yellow field, typical of Ukrainian landscapes, becomes the stage of an invasion, amplifying the contrast between natural peace and the brutality of war.
