I made a tiny drawing by tracing the image I had taken myself.

Due to the fact that this image was taken in a conflict-ridden area in Moldova, where I am from, I want to produce a work that demonstrates that you can see what hides behind the lovely and calm scene and surroundings

❖ I chose to compose a phrase in Ukrainian and put it to the rapid tracing I produced because I was using typography in my job.

❖ I decided to use this statement since many individuals fled Ukraine and migrated to other countries as a result of the war The phrase "no matter where I am, I will not forget home" should be demonstrated by this quotation.

❖ Because it makes me think of my childhood in Moldova, where my grandma used to teach me how to use the embroidery hoop, I chose to use fabric paints to paint on fabric and place the cloth on the embroidery hoop in order to make the work more traditional

❖ In other words, "no matter where I am, I will not forget home" and my origins

This is my final piece

I made the decision to make the painting appear blurry in order to represent how our thoughts are when we reflect on the past.

I utilised the embroidery hoop's back to depict the county's devastation. I also included the quote's translation. This work demonstrates to the observer how the Ukrainians saw their country and how the Russians shaped it illustrating catastrophe with a spatula knife.

The lovely fields that Ukraine had were devastated.

The second embroidery hoop depicting the ongoing violence makes me nervous and frightened since I tried to depict blood, destruction, and flames.

Rough textures can add depth and complexity, creating a sense of physical and emotional weight.

In an experiment, I created a concrete texture using white paint and sand to show the disaster. In recent years, the world has witnessed various disasters with the different degrees of devastation. One such disaster that has caught the attention of many is the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. This tragedy has claimed many lives, displaced thousands and caused widespread devastation.

Unbalanced, chaotic composition can convey a sense of disorientation and confusion, with this abstract piece I tried to create the illusion of broken buildings, shattered glass and darkness The use of muted, desaturated colours or darker, more intense hues creates a somber or foreboding atmosphere that reflects the emotional weight of the disaster

Given that colours are too bright to convey happiness and calm, this attempt at peace is unsuccessful. The colours should look dirtier the same tone as the military uniform.
