Soon new shooting with David Dubnitsky
Added 2022-03-31 19:41:22 +0000 UTCDuring this difficult time, we decided to do a photoshoot with David.
More precisely, for me personally, this was a difficult decision, firstly, because I have absolutely no time for this, because, as you can see from my Instagram, I help people and animals every day from morning till night without a single day off. And secondly, when people die in neighboring cities, it seems completely inappropriate to engage in art.
But David said that in such a difficult time for everyone when there is so much pain and tears around, you need to show people something beautiful that will lift their mood and spirit. This can help people forget about the war for a while and remember how we lived before which may warm people's hearts up a little.
So I've decided to do it and I don't regret it. It was also difficult because a few days ago, while we were delivering aid, I had bleeding. We went to the hospital and it turned out that we needed to do an emergency operation. We did it and an hour later we were delivering food to people again
But the next day, of course, I had to lie at home taking painkillers and antibiotics, but I feel much better already
What do you think? Is it necessary or appropriate to continue engaging in art, as far as circumstances allow, while there is war in the country?

Beautiful comes in many forms and is interpreted in different ways but if it brings a smile to one person and takes them away for a moment and makes them smile of forget even briefly then it’s worth it and that person will always appreciate it.

If you have the time, opportunity, and energy to do something artistic, absolutely do so. Morale is one of the most critical elements to maintaining will to carry on. Art, in any form, can backstop and energize that will. It's no less important (if not as immediately critical) as anything else you've been doing to help people.
