This painting captures a suspended psychological moment shaped by lived experience during the war in Ukraine. A young woman stands barefoot in a quiet interior, her calm presence carrying a sense of fragile resilience. Beyond the window, a distant fire burns under a crescent moon—a subtle but unmistakable reference to the reality of ночі, коли вогонь на горизонті стає частиною повсякденності.

Inside, the space feels intimate yet slightly disjointed, filled with objects that echo memory and identity. A black cat sits alert at her feet, embodying instinct and silent awareness, while a painted hare inside a cabinet introduces a surreal element—something caught between imagination and truth.

The contrast between the stillness of the figure and the distant destruction creates a deeply human tension: the ability to remain composed while the world shifts. This work speaks about inner endurance, about holding oneself together when reality fractures.

Collectors who are drawn to authentic narratives and emotionally resonant contemporary art will find in this piece not only visual beauty, but a quiet, powerful testimony of presence within instability.

Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam tm and Italian canvas by Unico were used. The finish is satin varnish, and the edges are painted in the background color. This painting is created on a pre-stretched canvas on a wooden frame. It is carefully packed in a cardboard box with layers of bubble wrap. The artwork is signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
