Olga's tribute to Ukraine
A year of war has passed. It is difficult to deal with such impotence on all humanity facing this kind of scourge generated by a few inhuman people. In this way, we decided to pay our tribute to this misfortune country - Ukraine.
Our message is simple: a country is made of its people, not of buildings or pieces of land. And that's why we believe that, although such destruction, "it will always be Ukraine".
The greatest difficulty of such sensitive subject (as a War happens to be) is always how to honor the event itself in a prudent, conscious way, not using the obvious bloody, scary and destructive scenarios and what we want is to show all our affection and support in the best way we can to all of those who fight daily for their families, their homes and for their country.
We took the flag as the ultimate symbol of representation of a nation, humanising the fabric and making it somewhat vulnerable but invincible when it proves firm and untouchable in the end.
Putting this very complex concept into practice without resorting to simulations of obvious behaviours is always a challenge that ends up putting skills and theories into practice in an honestly challenging way, which turns out to be quite satisfying when the result is something we are proud of.
The piece was formerly made for the GQ MOTY Awards 2022, which we now adapted for a general purpose.
