Works

The human spirit, when strong, will inevitably lead to new heights.

A strong spirit – this is what I vividly see when I hear Nazar’s story. He clearly demonstrates and teaches us that we must follow his example and take responsibility for the state of our country and our future in it.

His own free choice to board that bus tells us that the strength lies within each of us; we create our future through our actions and example. No fears or anxieties can hold us back!

We shape our environment, and we must protect our home so that it remains green and kind.

The image of a silhouette, as a personification of someone who fights and strives for freedom and responsibility, serves as a profound inner motivation. It is from this need that the awareness of one’s dignity begins. This is what helps overcome any adversity.
