Land has always been a fundamental value of Ukrainians. Due to the Russian invasion, the most fertile land has become the most mine-contaminated territory in the world.
About 156,000 square meters. km the territories of Ukraine are currently potentially dangerous due to possible mining as a result of Russian terror.
This is approximately 26% of the total area of Ukraine, which is equal to the area of some other countries in the world, on which it was possible to grow food products for 81 million people.
Every day, both sappers and civilians, ordinary farmers, are killed and injured by explosive devices left by the terrorist state.

Watercolor drawings of Russian mines are almost invisible in illustrations of vegetables of the 19th century, like death in a vibrant life.

The war in Ukraine is becoming invisible, we are tired, and war become a routine.

Harvest time and farmers back home in deoccupied territory with a metal detector and grow life in the most mine-contaminated area in the world

The installation was created in collaboration with photographer Jędrzej Nowicki on the photo of Hanna Plitchynska, a resident of the village of Stepova Dolyna, Kherson region, who returned to the almost destroyed village after the occupation.
