Their embrace tightening with each passing moment. Suddenly, a young man across the street took notice. Wordlessly, he rushed over and joined the embrace. I stood there, transfixed and frozen.

In June 2016, I successfully defended my bachelor's project – an art book, "Ethnomusik. Reminiscences of Authentic Ukrainian Music in the Works of Modern musical bands". I created illustrations using images of traditional Ukrainian musical instruments. One illustration from it became a foundation for the image concept and style of the Onuka Live With Naoni Orchestra concert tour.
