Parallel world
Added 2022-03-22 18:15:39 +0000 UTCI just was on protests in Tbilisi related to our opposition leader Navalny got 9 years of prison for his corruption fight and I cried a lot. The feeling of being able to just stay there, say what you think, that you're against war, and not to fear to get jailed is just... oh. I think I need time to get used to it. Police just stayed there, protecting the building (it was Ministry of Switzerland) and nodding to us then we were shouting. I can't believe it, it feels like a parallel universe.
Нет войне. Путина в Гаагу. Свободу Алексею Навальному. მადლობა პოლიციას, а мусора - позор России.
Thanks.
I also feel sorry for writing a lot about politics and what's happening here and where, I'm an artist after all and you followed an artist. I just hope it all will end as soon as possible😔

2022-03-23 05:58:33 +0000 UTCYou should not ever feel bad for sharing your political thoughts and actions, especially in a time of terrible crisis. I think the amazing thing about art is that it can be political but it can also be above politics and bring us together. You are an amazing artist but you’re also a human being with other facets and it’s okay if they overlap. I’m proud of you for protesting today!!!👏🏼

2022-03-22 23:15:07 +0000 UTCFor me, art is a way to convey an opinion, a feeling. You really don't have to apologize ! I've followed your journey and I'm proud to know someone as couragous as you. I'm in France, and I often speak about you. All my thoughts go to people suffering because of one selfish man ! It's difficult to find the right words, because English is obviously not my first language and I'm afraid to say something I don't mean. I hope you can read between the lines and feel all the hope, the fear, the love, the anger, all that feelings which make me feel anxious and losing hope, but also give me the strengh to wake up and fight for what I trully believe.
