The Garden is an art mural I made with a dream team during my residency in Košice, Slovakia. I was forced to look for a shelter because of a russia full-scale invasion of Ukraine and this is how I met SAC. Together we made a mural for a local urban project for a future community garden.

The Garden revealed itself when I tried to mix the rough sketches I made during my art residency in Kosice. I realized that despite the war in Ukraine, life still goes on and we can find the energy to fight daily thanks to that. I believe neighbors at the future community garden will have enough fulfilled joyful moments near this wall.
