Art with a story.
This unique picture is a tribute to the Ukrainian people who are fighting for freedom from the tyranny of Russia in the war of 2022. They are fighting to protect their democracy and the right to self-determination. Sunflowers are a principal export of Ukraine, an unofficial national symbol, and a symbol of peace. Displaying sunflowers has become one of the many ways the world is showing solidarity for the Ukrainian people. A Ukrainian woman in Henychesk gave sunflower seeds to Russian soldiers, with the striking instruction to put the seeds in their pockets so the flowers will grow where they die.
