The process of the thesis Becoming a Witch arose as a sad sublimation and escapism from the crises we are experiencing. But in my interest it is no longer painful to draw attention to the emptiness of the planet and to criticize the crises, but to admit personally and publicly that as an author and a human being I am depressed and need to deepen introspectively, to learn the cultural codes of my nationality, to master the alchemy of creating natural pigments, to be beneficial to their community and in short - to connect with nature. But my authenticity is still important - for me, as an author, it is not enough to be a consumer of knowledge about the history of witchcraft, rituals, phytotherapy, mycology, but also to artistically transform new knowledge.

Our soil is common to herbs, fungi, animals and humans. A being with consciousness that reflects, identifies itself, is rooted in social structures, uses folk signs, artifacts and rituals. I connect with the roots and literally. I collect herbs, mushrooms. I bury myself in the ground, clean the roots, drink a decoction from them. The existential crisis from the global crisis forces us to abandon the products of art as future garbage.
A symbol that means Peace and Ukrainian victory. A symbol that means a sown field, respect, creativity. A symbol that stands for equal rights, post-colonial discourse and the forest fairy. A symbol that means the morning sun, the evening moon and the summer wind. A symbol that means fight for the planet. A symbol that scorns the toxic partriarchy and toxic capitalism. a symbol of witchcraft and critical thinking. A symbol of validation of minorities.
 A symbol of destigmatization of orientations and genders. A symbol of glorification of paganism and ethnic cultures.
 A symbol of non-violence and the fight against xenophobia. A symbol of my kiss on your forehead as a sign of love.
