Michalovce (Slovakia), 2022, ink and technical ink pens on paper.

“There is one main topic of the illustration, protection. We find ourselves in either one of the two characters; one lying down, naked and vulnerable, or the one standing above, defending and cherishing the nudity of the one in need, all while naked himself, despite seemingly being better positioned. It is one thing to recognize someone's vulnerability, but a whole different one to accept, respect, and help to protect it.”

“I illustrated kindness as a very crucial element of love. I portrayed kindness each and every one of us should aspire to reach every day. We should all be willing to protect one another's nudity. Not blindly, but for the sake of everyone's personal improvement.”
