Out of great emotional upset over the invasion of Mariupol by Russia, I painted an abstraction on March 27, 2022 as a way to distract myself. I didn't consciously set out to paint anything to do with the invasion, but nevertheless must have done so, because my longtime partner took one look at the painting and exclaimed, "It's Mariupol!" I said without a moment of thought, "You're right!" Even the colors are related to the flag of Ukraine.
