Original artwork description:

The painting depicts a person who seems to be floating above a ruined city, marked by the traces of conflict and war. Despite the city continuing to function, its residents, symbolized by the heads, appear gloomy, doomed, and strange, as if they have lost touch with reality. The figure stretched out in flight seems detached from this world, yet still connected to it through a deep inner experience of destruction.
The images of the heads in the upper part of the artwork seem frozen, lifeless, with empty gazes, reflecting the despair of people living in dangerous conditions. The red area on the painting, contrasting with the dark grey-green tones, possibly symbolizes the threat or destruction looming over the city.

The piece was created on wallpaper, emphasizing the use of recycled materials, giving it a special texture and depth. It also reflects the idea of living in a world where resources are reused and repurposed, as if the very materials carry a history of destruction and renewal. The absence of a frame highlights the openness and unfinished nature of the situation in which the city remains.
This artwork captures deep personal and collective experiences during a time of war, when even the most ordinary aspects of life take on distorted and tragic dimensions.
