I felt that colours alone would not be enough to represent the depth of the tragedy of the downing of flight PS752. This led me to consider adding other elements to my work to show this severe suffering more effectively. Twisted wires represent the untied mind knots of families who are faced with many unanswered questions. Broken burned CDs symbolize the broken wings of victims’ dreams. Dates numbers occupied the roads; one in black reads as January 8, 2020, when the plane was shot down.
“We, humans, try our best to create a colourful life for ourselves. Still, many things are out of our control, and make all our efforts useless.”
