As for the war in Ukraine, doing nothing is not an option for Maria Westra. That is why she made this painting.
Russia's attack on a maternity hospital in Mariupol is a war crime. The heavily pregnant woman in the painting had to flee in a hurry. A day later Veronika was born. Will Veronika ever live in freedom? Will Veronika ever be able to make her own choices?
When will this madness end?
