_{Seeing destruction, devastation, pain, aggression, ruins, tears, injuries, blood, smoke, death.
Seeing it only through the screen.

Seeing through the screen means not being there, not feeling it with my body, not touching
with my hands, not hugging people, just scrolling the news all the time. First it is devastating to
see the destruction of the houses, of someone’s homes, then there are no more feelings, only
numbness most of the time, but not all of the time. Sometimes it is overwhelming pain.}

_{I am drawing on the transparent paper, tracing the photos from the news on my tablet. This is my
way of not thinking, just tracing the lines, nervous and abrupt lines, not understanding the result
that they will make. I also don’t understand what is going to happen by the end of the war in
Ukraine. Unknown and unpredictability is all I have now.}
