This is my homeland - a country of contrasts. This is my love of

study and constant work. These are travel and Erasmus +. And, of
course, modern technology.

24. For me, this photo is a collection of different symbols of Ukrainian culture. First of all, is
mosaic from Soviet Union time which is 1. have to be hidden according to
decommunization and 2. beautiful in a way it's made. Second is home-canned
tomatoes. Yes, we continue to do it. And the best ones, of course, are made from home
planted tomatoes of my mom. Third is vyshyvanka. This is national embroidered shirt
which is become very popular. And sometimes I have a feeling that we lose the value by
making things popular.
