"Is art resistance? Can you plant a garden to stop a war? It depends how you think about time. It depends what you think a seed does, if it’s tossed into fertile soil. But it seems to me that whatever else you do, it’s worth tending to paradise, however you define it and wherever it arises." Olivia Laing This series of photographs was created during the darkest time of year in the winter of 2022-2023, during the shortest sunny days of the year, when the cities of my country Ukraine were plunged into a blackout by the russian aggressor.

Olga, an award-winning photographer and artist based in Odesa, Ukraine, skillfully blends photography with fine art techniques. With gold, silver, and bronze accolades from various competitions, her work has graced exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad. Olga's unique vision transcends boundaries, captivating global audiences and leaving an indelible mark on the international art scene.
