Unity

Unity painting is about joint forces of friends, togetherness of lovers, unity of souls.

Work on the painting was started at the spring 2020 when each day the doors of our free to go life were closing and closing again and again.

Among friends we helped each other dealing with abruptly stopped travels, crashing business and urgence of building needed reserves for uncertainty of coming future.

Unity sticked us in understanding of how to fight with invisible enemy of virus.

Endless discussions of news from doctors, nurses and social workers, exchanges of NHS informative videos. No one would ever forget it.

And dispite the darkness coming all around it all made even more clear who values you being the part of their life, who is afraid to loose you forever. People turned to be kinder and closer to each other.

But most important thing which has happened during complete lockdown was a cultural shift: casual people - nurses, doctors and volunteers became the heroes of high street magazines, stepped into covers.

Suddenly world realized what is important and who would take care of you if you break the leg or get the severe infection.

Seven turtles of Unity painting symbolise the doctors, nurses and patients fighting together with the COVID to be able to get out of the falling ocean and take the breath.
