Description
When Starlings are in murmuration, while beautiful and mysterious, it is said their flight pattern is to deter and confuse predators. This painting went through many evolutions, trying to simplify and condense the many emotions around the escalation of the Russian atrocities in Ukraine. The Hebrew letters translate to "The God who Heals". Included is the national flower and the news story that was circulating: A woman is being hailed on social media after she confronted a heavily armed Russian soldier and offered him sunflower seeds – so that flowers would grow if he died there on Ukraine’s soil. 'You’re occupants, you’re fascists,' she shouts, standing about a meter from the soldier. 'Take these seeds and put them in your pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here'" (The Guardian, Feb. 25,2022)
