The main impetus for this work was the terrible news about the events in Buch, Irpen, Gostomel, and especially in Mariupol, during the first stage of the occupation of Ukraine in the spring of 2022, related to the mass targeted killings of the civilian population in these peaceful Ukrainian cities. The shock and incomplete awareness of what happened and became a reality in the 21st century literally pushed this canvas out of me. 
On the one hand, it is a reflection on the mentioned events, an attempt to plastically understand why words have been lacking until now - incredible pain, grief, hatred and anger mixed together, and on the other hand, it is an attempt to lay down the idea of continuing life in spite of death. I tried to use controversial means, depicting the dead, to use colorful colors that through tears and grief say - this tragedy is the beginning of the Ukrainian renaissance and as Dzhokhar Dudayev said: "The time will come and the Ukrainian sun will rise."
Also, one of the conceptual tasks was to show by plastic means the analogy of current events to human dramas that were the result of military aggressions and wars of aggression with mass crimes committed by Moscow troops, starting with the robbery of Kyiv by Andrii Bogolyubsky in 1169, and the Moscow kingdom, the Russian empire and USSR in the following centuries. At the same time, I aimed to give the work signs of the context of the modern full-scale Russian invasion of 2022-2023, which means to fit our tragedy into a global context. That is why I chose a mixture of plastic means of the Byzantine icon, the Italian Renaissance, as well as the Ukrainian Baroque with the addition of ornamented elements.
