The rays gliding through the transparent water embody an elusive spirit of freedom. Their movement is graceful yet determined — an allegory of our aspiration for light, space, and harmony, even when the path is fraught with challenges. The crystal-clear depths remind of the fleeting nature of time: it flows imperceptibly, carrying away our joys and sorrows while urging us toward change and growth. This work also serves as a reminder of humanity’s inseparable connection with nature. It prompts reflection on our place in the world and our responsibility to protect the environment. A special meaning lies within the color palette. Shades of blue and yellow subtly echo the Ukrainian flag, my homeland. These colors symbolize freedom and peace, ideals that my country strives for. This painting is a hymn to life, movement, and freedom.
