A Shared Road

This landscape is not a specific place.
It represents a journey made possible through kindness.
Ukraine lives within me as memory and roots,
as the quiet of a winter forest
that never fades.
Canada became the road — open and long,
sometimes uncertain at the beginning.
The small house among the trees is more than a home;
it is a symbol of welcome, support, and warmth
we encountered upon arrival.
This painting is about moving forward without being alone.
About gratitude that needs no words.
And about hope born where people choose to care.
