The dress in the photo is made of 25kg of broken tiles that fell off from an old ruined building. The broken tiles were picked up and a new reality was created. The homes and lives of thousands of people have been ruined. Just like those tiles we learned to glue fractures of our lives together and survive. The dress in the photo is created by the artist Alis la Luna. The photoshoot was made in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Art for Yana Gryniv is an opportunity to be heard and to encourage others to think. Her artistic path began with pottery and silk-screen printing, then she turned to stained-glass painting and later added painting, photography and installation art to her circle of activities. In 2022 in Vienna she founded a curatorial platform Art Contact Ukraine. The platform facilitates collaboration between artists, cultural/governmental/diplomatic institutions, and activists. The scope of activity is defined through conceptual art, burning issues and cultural heritage.
