Incredibly moving to read this. Themes of survival feel like such a trembling spine in living from art, whatever the circumstances. Thank you for sharing the joy. It radiates from your art like a benevolent Sun.

“We've entered dystopian times, where our memories and visions are the libraries the oppressor wants to burn. If we can't see the illusion now, when will we? Will you keep giving your life away to it, or will you choose to honor your soul?”

Amazing piece Vanja, thank you for putting to words what I feel stirring in my soul. I too will never give up and dedicate this life to someone else’s grind.
