“If I had to depict a portrait of my generation – Ukrainian people born in the times of change, on the ruins of the empire – I would trip over this challenging task. We are all too different. We grew up in dissimilar regions of our big country at the crossroads of various influences, we spoke and speak different languages, we were formed as individuals in non-identical families and environments with different traumas of the past. And yet, it seems we have a lot in common. Regardless of our backgrounds, religions, views, social statuses and so on, we all grew up on shared desires and searching for another life.” – Iryna Tsilyk
