Ukraine ablaze

The war is still not over

This was a happening set up in May 2022.

In this work, the artist was thinking about the rapid disappearance of information. She cyclically continued to write the words “The war is still not over” with water on roads and public squares, thereby reminding us of the terrible realities of Ukrainian life. While writing down the words, the previous ones lost their shape and visibility. Later, it was even impossible due to the evaporation of water. So, it was challenging to recognise the meaning, just as it is challenging to feel the courage and the pain of people who are going through the war.

The unconscious source of the idea became the Chinese method of writing hieroglyphs with water. While the masters were writing, the beginning of the hieroglyph disappeared, and this meant the infinity of being.
