Chicory - a series "Overgrow but cannot heal" Drawing

The oldest material for painting and writing is a scroll. The only form of painting that can be rolled up and taken in hand luggage. In Chinese culture, there is no division between spirit and matter - that's why I chose this traditional material. Moreover, it is impossible to make any sketches or preliminary drawings on rice paper - the eraser damages the paper, and any movement of the brush with paint is instantly imprinted on it. A brush frozen for a second on paper turns into a puddle that cannot be corrected. This is a very emotional technique and unpredictable. Just like life. I'm from Ukraine and the war continues, every day someone's life is destroyed. In this series, I combine destroyed houses in Ukraine and medicinal plants - wild, those that grow in almost every yard. And we all healed wounds with them in childhood. In the occupied territories, this is sometimes the only option for medicine.
