There is nothing stronger than the hope of a man who knows he must win. // Me by Sergey Nemov
My mom @alenkamosina and I finally got to see each other — for the first time in just over 8 months! 🥹🥰😍
With her, it felt like home again, even though I’m still far from home.
For now, everything feels warm and peaceful.

I will forever cherish in my broken heart the memories of my native land, filled with my tears.

Folks, this is brutal! A war has broken out between India and Pakistan. These are countries with huge populations and nuclear weapons.
My Cross to Bear
Stereotypes, false values, norms, prejudices, criticism, self-criticism, and childhood traumas—nail after nail, they create a massive cross that must be carried. I do not believe that destiny sends us trials or that everything that happens is fate. We build this cross ourselves. And I intend to cast it off.

In this current reality, my most important goal has been to preserve myself as an individual. When in my country, freedom and security cannot coexist, when you have to make a choice that eliminates the latter, it becomes clear that you need to preserve not just your identity but your very humanity. I often find myself filled with hatred and disgust for those who support evil, who behave inhumanely and cruelly. I feel I am losing my own humanity. Hatred is not a feeling that comes naturally to me, and it cannot be justified even if those I hate deserve the pain I wish upon them. I have transformed from a person who believes all people are good until proven otherwise, into one who sees enemies everywhere, and there is reason for that shift.
I am trying to hold onto the memory of what is normal, what it means to be human. I hope that I, and others who are going through this, can retain our humanity and compassion.

I realized that my last four works in the project have been nothing but whining about emigration. I won’t keep twisting tears around my fist anymore — I’ll go back to creating sharp and furious pieces about what’s happening. But honestly, I have to admit, I won’t be publishing them for now, so that I don’t end up with a criminal case against me.
But the day will come I’ll be able to unleash my whole project onto the world!

“The Inner House” About my forced emigration and how I suddenly lost my home and native country due to political reasons and the threat of imprisonment. My inner home was here, in my homeland, but now I am neither there nor here - it is empty, and I am not. Floor Price 1 $XTZ

Now there are about 100 materials in this project. This project consists of my self-portraits as well as various news footage and other artifacts shot during this war as a reaction to what is happening: propaganda, new laws prohibiting even the word “war”, isolation caused by sanctions and condemnation, repression and forced emigration.
They weren’t even part of a gang. They had kids and families at home and were trying to go about it all legally. How could they have known that being the wrong color was enough to get them kidnapped off the street and disappeared without warning?!
