Original artwork description:

The central focus of the picture is a woman and a man locked in a tight embrace, expressing their deep connection and the strength of their bond.
Through the use of metaphor, the artist symbolically references the historical events of February 24, 2022, suggesting that the painting represents the impact of those specific events. The artwork serves as a reflection of the tragic events that unfolded during that period.
The characters in the painting embrace each other tightly, their bodies forming a strong union resembling a knot. This symbolism represents their desire to stay united and find solace in each other's arms amidst the chaos of war. The embrace becomes a symbol of their shared strength and determination to face the horrifying circumstances together.

The surroundings of the couple are sparsely populated with trees and a couple of weeds, emphasizing the isolation and desolation caused by the conflict. The absence of any other elements suggests a sense of emptiness and the overwhelming presence of destruction.
The viewer can sense the palpable tension and the constant reminder of impending death.
The painting is varnished with dammar varnish and has a glossy effect in daylight
