By the light, Imagine point
The project "By the Light" is an artistic study of the Ukrainian phenomenon of the light-spirit and its extraordinary power in the conditions of war and harrowing trials. With the help of pictorial images, audio, and video series, the authors simultaneously explore the state of despair and fear and the nation's unprecedented consolidation and indomitability.

With the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian occupation forces, it is difficult not to notice the grand rallying of the Ukrainian people of all social strata without exception. The strength of the spirit is like a bright light that can lead through the darkness of blackouts, exhaustion, and death - to life and revival. The power of the spirit is like a sprout that reaches for the sun and can break through asphalt and stones on its way.

Frosty dusk, hot summer nights, dark windows, bright windows... Some beckon with the aroma of a family dinner and a carefree life, while others - grief and despair...

Single passers-by are hurrying home in winter urban landscapes. Light candles and sink into a cold bed with anxious forebodings of morning shelling, dreams of the coming spring, and hopes for Victory.

Butterflies fly to the light of open windows on summer nights, embodying a beautiful symbol of the ability to reconstitute, indomitability, and zest for the life of the people of Ukraine - qualities that the whole world admires. The time will come when the cannons explode with BUTTERFLIES - ART bombardment from a nation that does not destroy but CREATES!
