Ukrainians are building Fortifications. Fortifications of courage, bravery and victory. Fighting has become everyone's main job. Our example became unexpected and unpredictable for the whole world. "The land of brave people" is how our country is now called, fighting for peace in our common European family.

Behind each work are human destinies, stories of loss, hope and heroic resistance - these are the very stones in the great UKRPLAN that we are building as a nation. Each of us is an integral part of the whole, and together we are transforming the fear, pain, longing, horror and other emotions that the full-scale invasion brought us into strength, will and lust for life.

Liudmyla Rashtanova places the images of the Saints in the present-day realities of Ukraine. The images, which by their very nature are supposed to be protectors, are themselves in danger. In this way, she touches upon the problem of human existence in the modern world, the discrepancy between the ideals that humanity is striving for and the reality it has created.

In his works, Ed Potapenkov raises topical issues, emotionally affecting the viewer and inviting them to a dialogue through the use of colours and contrasting images.

Serhii Korniievskyi's Prayer series has a dualistic meaning in itself. These are words addressed to God, and at the same time the process of reading them. The artist, feeling the energy that unites all European countries, transforms it into a form.
