"Time to plant and time to uproot," 84x52cm, acrylic on carton, 2023
I created and submitted this artwork for the open call for Ukrainian queer artists by Ljubljana Pride. This year, they're doing an exhibition themed "Queer Solidarity. Images of Resilience and Hope."
And guess what? I was selected, and this piece will be exhibited in a gallery in Ljubljana during June, and I'm actually asked to come and participate in a discussion panel with costs covered and get some extra money, so it's like dream come true?? i'm a Real Actual Artist now??? still can't believe it
this is the story of the pieces I submitted with the application:
"A year ago, in March 2022, when the ruzzian army was still standing near Kyiv, I was walking home and saw two old ladies who were planting flowers on a patch of land near our house – just as they used to do every year before that (and yes, this year they are doing it as well). I sketched it immediately because nothing spoke to me of hope and endurance more than these ladies, trying to create life and beauty when rockets were flying over our heads. Life will prevail, I wrote then.
"Time to grow."
Half a year later, after years of fear and indecisiveness, I finally started my medical transition. 
The constant risk of being killed by a random rocket made me realize that whatever I fear, whatever pain I may encounter on my way, even from the people I love, I don't want to get killed without having lived my authentic self. Fear of death finally gave me courage. The autumn and winter were dark – due to the shellings, electricity was often off, sometimes for days on end. It happened that I did my testosterone shots only with the light from my phone or a candle. Still, it filled me with joy and hope.
Time to grow as well, but also time to uproot... 
I painted it on carton because in the spring 2022 I hadn't had the ability to buy art supplies, so I used what was on hand. Two parts of this diptych are connected with the tape. One of the first things we all did when the war broke out was to tape our windows crisscrossed for the chance they would withstand the shock wave if a rocket hit close. So, just like the images themselves, this bit of tape is also all about trying to persevere."
That's the best thing that happened to me in very very long time. So idk if you happen to be in Ljubljana during June, do drop by Gallery Alkatraz

From frontlines to diplomatic quagmire: two years of war in Ukraine
Feb. 26 will mark year two of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, a war that has been worth small territorial gains for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia Matters, a project launched in 2016 by Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, reported that as of Feb. 6 they can confirm 130,000 Ukrainian soldiers and 10,191 civilians have been killed and…

I'm tired of seeing antisemitism on my dash, in all its subtle forms. War is an atrocity, and Israel is not unique in that. Where is the outrage against Russia's ongoing genocide of Ukrainians? What about China's genocide of Uyghurs? What of all the other atrocities being committed around the world? Why is there *so much attention* devoted to hating Israel and seeking, not an end to the conflict, but the end of Israel? Is it just that they're a little country, an easy target to potentially dismantle, compared to the big fish of Russia and China?
Keep calling out the atrocities, by all means, but for the love of humanity maybe broaden your targets and reduce your own genocidal wishes?
Any ideology that says: "They did horrible things so 'they' [the group they belong to] all deserve to die horribly" is an evil one.

Donald Trump is responsible for the spike in international conflict in recent years.
His 2020 "peace" deal with the Taliban which completely sidestepped the Afghan government and gave the Taliban everything they wanted directly led to the botched withdrawal of US troops in 2021 and the subsequent Taliban reconquest of the country.
This was a reversal of US geopolitical efforts and a successful war of conquest by an enemy of the US. While the whole world watched. It empowered autocrats and enemies of the US and its allies worldwide to attempt to do the same. Most notably with Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
So next time you hear Trump boasting that there were no wars during his term, remember that it was his incompetence that led to the current state of affair.
