Original artwork description
Mari u Polia asks two questions at once — and leaves both unanswered.
The first is personal: do we truly remember our childhood? Not the events themselves, but their texture — the specific light, the feeling of a particular morning, the brightness that time eventually blurs even in the people who lived it most closely. Mariupol was my childhood home. A city that was once nearly unknown to the world, until the war gave it a different kind of recognition.
The second question is harder: how quickly does the world move past someone else's tragedy? Grief that is not one's own cannot be fully carried — and everyday life, quietly and without malice, softens even the strongest waves of empathy. The drawing holds both questions without resolving them. That unresolution is the point.
Like the other works in this series, the composition reaches the very edges of the paper — a recurring gesture in the Reflection series that speaks to how conflict overflows all limits. This is the second of three drawings; Reflection 18×18 and Sunrise by the Sea are available on my Artfinder profile.
