The Age Of Love
Looking in this mirror some of us will find that Ukraine is nothing more than information pollution. Especially distracting from the way to spiritual enlightenment. You don’t have to watch the news, or be interested in politics. Friends or relatives will still tell you about the most important things. You won't miss a nuclear war.
Make America Great Again
For some of us, Ukraine is just a part of election campaign.
Ruin Porn Hub
For some of us Ukraine is just a Ruin Porn Hub.
Shot this gas station during my last plein air in Posad Pokrovske village, a prominent Ruin Porn genre location. Of course, these holes in the metal are not decay, they are from fragments of shells and missiles. War compresses and condenses time, it accelerates aging of everything within.
At first I wanted to create panorama from these files, as I usually do. Suddenly the idea came to use the interface of the social networks and show these photos as they are. So do it on your own with your fingers and imagination. Swipe till the last photo. Satisfaction guaranteed. At the end, a prize awaits you. This is Gustave Courbet, "The Origin of the World".

Grain
For some, Ukraine is just grain.
Doves of Peace
4K video, duration 5 min. 11 sec.
For these pigeons, it makes no difference why and where this grain came from. Will it come from Russia or Ukraine. Will it be harvested by farmers or slaves, dictators or democrats. They don't care what language these people speak or whether they have their own culture. Doves, in fact, do not need peace. They need food. Both today and tomorrow. But this mirror scares them away for some reason. Or maybe it is not a mirror, but what is reflected in it?
Trend
Trend
For some, Ukraine is just a trend: today it is raising, tomorrow it is gone.
Of course, trends are driven by people. I think that people in Ukraine should understand quite well how unpleasant it is when you are deliberately ignored. But then I remember that I live in Kherson. And we are both just a trend here.

Victima
The fact, even, is not that we, lovers of simple solutions and a magic pill, do not go to God barefoot to the highest mountain, but to the nearest 7/11 store. The fact is that in this world, where all relationships scale up and down, where everything begins and ends in the same place, our relationships with God is exactly the same as our relationships with ourselves. So, if you believed that you, a sinner, needed a savior, then there must be a victim somewhere. Don’t blame the mirror. It has nothing to do with it.
The Fleas Mirror Experiment
The Fleas Mirror Experiment conducted in secret bio laboratory in Ukraine. The Goal of this experiment is not finding the answers. The goal is raising the questions.
"Training fleas requires a glass jar with a lid. The fleas are placed inside the jar and the lid is then sealed. They are left undisturbed for three days. Then, when the jar is opened, the fleas will not jump out. In fact, the fleas will never jump higher than the level set by the lid. Their behavior is now set for the rest of their lives. And, when these fleas reproduce, their offspring will automatically follow their example".
And, when these fleas reproduce, their offspring will automatically follow their example...

Money
Unfortunately, for most people on this planet, Ukraine is just money. It must be very unpleasant when your life and freedom are sold for the price of cheap gas or gasoline. When someone makes money on your grief and hardships. When people turn away from you because they don't know how to make money from you. When in the third year of a full-scale war, rent prices in Odesa triple, because the tourist season begins.
By the way, since I mentioned tourists...You may have already heard that people sometimes die during sea cruises. For such cases only small mortuaries are provided on cruise ships. So, when passengers die en masse, their excess bodies are put in provision stores, which need to be urgently freed from food. Then, the living passengers get the jackpot! They are given with a free ice cream party.
Universe is abundant. There is lots of free ice cream on our cruise. Passengers probably know why, but they still want this celebration to never end. So, my friend, don't waste your time asking for whom the bell tolls, it is not you. Run for your free ice cream! While I scream...
Free I Scream
OKHO (The Window)
There is a person in this world for whom Ukraine is just a window. Walking through doors takes longer and it is not guaranteed if it will open.
I am not a robot
In times when ChatGPT imitates a human better than a human does, the question becomes dangerously acute. I wish you to pass this test with dignity. The cemetery mood hints that there is not so much time to do this. Although, in Kherson and many other Ukrainian cities, you don't need to go to the cemetery for this purpose.
