The painting titled "Let's Save, Let's Get Up" is an evocative and symbolic artwork that appears to hold a deep patriotic and rallying message. It prominently features a kite colored in blue and yellow, rising high in the sky, hues that are reminiscent of the national flag of Ukraine. Surrounding the central kite are smaller paper airplanes, also aloft, as if carried by the same breeze. The sky is a vast canvas of blue, giving a sense of open space and freedom. Below the flying objects is a landscape featuring notable landmarks, suggesting a specific geographical and cultural context. The presence of these structures gives the work a sense of place and may hint at the resilience and enduring spirit of a nation's cultural heritage and identity. The meaning of the piece could be interpreted as a call to unity and perseverance, with the flying kite and airplanes symbolizing hope, determination, and the collective effort to rise above challenges. The title reinforces this interpretation, suggesting an action of preservation and ascension—perhaps a metaphor for safeguarding cultural identity and striving for a better future. The artwork seems to encapsulate a moment of solidarity and aspiration against the vastness of the sky, symbolizing infinite possibilities and the enduring nature of the human spirit.
