Myalgia

You may say that war is a "special military operation", that bombing civilians is an act of care against denazification, that black is white...but young soldiers of both parties die next to each other and bleed the same color red, and their mothers' hearts wail for their lost children with the same pain. This work is an continuation of the series reflecting the war in Ukraine.

"An ordinary civilian woman commits a murder of an exhausted sleeping solder from an allied folk, deceiving him first with hospitality. Was it self-defense or a dignity protection act, revenge for something personal, accumulated stress from life in endless war state and thus worn out empathy... or some kind strike of insanity?"
