Anya Karelina: «Why I decided to join the project? I thought the idea of finding something to bring protesters together was brilliant. Regardless of different political views, we all have the same dreams: of peace, love and happiness. Then we’ve only had made it through the difficult winter, when periods of hope followed ones of despair.
We won, but the price of our victory was heavy. Charred, with the smell of smoke, Maidan reminded me of a black square that absorbed all the spectral colors, all the sounds and created a churning feeling of emptiness deep within myself. But as life and death, black and white are always united, where there’s a black square, there’s a white one — carte blanche, clean slate… It was this „white square“ that I wanted to draw. Maidan has made it possible for us to rewrite the history with a clean slate, to be responsible for it — and it concerns us all».
