Video letter from Ukraine
Mentor: Prof. Rene Rusjan
Video letter from Ukraine.
Good morning, son! It is now 8:20, March 4th. We survived one more night. We are alive and the hell goes on. The issue of community during the pandemic was still reverberating when war broke out in our neighborhood. Vasily Kuzmich has already dealt with the theme of “home” in some of his previous works. This time he sends us a video letter from Ukraine and invites, even forces, us to stop and come closer. Close enough to feel the pain of a mother, sending short text messages to her son.
