His very first mural in Paris, created with "Back to School project"
Working with context is very important for the artist, and although this is a mural for a school he want to make some references to the war in Ukraine (his home country). Some details have been removed to create a mural the school and local community were happy about.
There's 2 different stories in this work: The first is about a boy playing with a globe. The ear shows that the Earth is alive and can hear us. The boy is conjuring a genie and making a wish with nice, bright letters. The wish is for 'перемога', which means victory in Ukrainian. The victory of light over darkness.
The “globe-vase” is in danger and filled with the fire of war. The war inside the vase could destroy it. We can already see some cracks appearing. The boy in the embroidered Ukrainian shirt is trying to save the world. The civilised world can hear the voice of Ukraine and supports us in our fight. The smoke from the war shows Ukrainian letters in random positions, but we will put them right, and we will get П Е Р Е М О Г А, which means our Victory over russian aggression. This is the second story.
