grieving woman
The second invasion of Ukraine #118 by the Russian army, with news of the atrocities by Putin’s invading army, began in February of 2022, during the painting of the mural. The grieving woman entered the mural as a symbol of Hallowell’s support for the Ukrainian people.
Slava Ukraini! Слава Україні!, “Glory to Ukraine!”
The scenes of devastation from Ukraine are just heartbreaking. Though the Ukraine war is not central to Hallowell’s story, I needed to paint something. The crying woman cradling her child became a small but important part of the mural for me.
