And I am you. Everything around you"
The basis for the research is the poetry of 1960s Ukrainian poet Mykola Vinhranovskiy and the works of contemporary Ukrainian writer Taras Prokhasko.
"The light of life, I am in a deep darkness,
Cure my heart from disastrous pains
And save my boat from the storm

"And the dream of dreams of a crowded communion

And delivered - into a cosmic silence
We shattered, and became the Sun!..."

What kind of world do we desire? What kind of future are we seeking? How do we create this world together? What is it that unites all human beings on this planet? How do we impact the world… and how does it impact us?
I’m telling you: today is in your hands,

Your age is horrible and joyous,
Love it, hate it, empathize,
And hold it tight. Do not forgive anything,
Because forgiveness will bring your death.
