ウクライナ

By 2022-02-27No Comments

ウクライナ市民の日常が奪われ 変わり果てた街並をみて胸が痛む。
すでに多くの血や涙が流され、思わしくない方向へその影響が拡大していくのを感じる。怒りや悲しみの連鎖がさらに広がっていかないことを願う。
何故こういう事態になってしまったのか。これまでの歴史、経緯を調べていくと、その根はどこまでも深く、問題が複雑に絡み合い、簡単ではないことを思い知らされる。

祈りや、思いを言葉にしたり足や手を動かしたり、その思いは育ち結びつき力になっていくのでは・・微かな希望をもって色を塗る。
ウクライナの国旗を絵にしながら、あぁこれは青い空と黄金色の大地なのかも・・と感じた。
調べてみたところ、青色は空、金色は小麦を表すという説と、青色は水、金色は火という説があるらしい。
ウクライナの空から煙が晴れ、青空が広がり、一日も早く穏やかな日々が戻ることを願います。

No War

It’s heartbreaking to see the streets transformed and the daily lives of Ukrainian citizens taken away.
A lot of blood and tears have already been shed, and I can feel the effects spreading in unexpected directions. I hope that the chain of anger and sorrow will not spread further.
How did this situation come about? The more I look into the history and circumstances, the more I realize that the roots of the problem are deep and complicated, and that it is not easy to solve.

I wondered if the prayers and thoughts of the people, put into words, moved their feet and hands, would grow and connect, and become a force to be reckoned with. With this in mind, I painted with a faint hope.
While painting the Ukrainian flag, I felt that this was a blue sky and golden earth.
I looked it up and found out that some people believe that the blue color represents the sky and the golden color represents wheat, while others believe that the blue color represents water and the golden color represents fire.
I hope that the smoke will clear from the skies of Ukraine, the blue sky will spread out, and the peaceful days will return as soon as possible.

No War.
