Kate Kostrova

I was 16 years old when the fighting began in the area where I lived. Now I'm 23 and 8 years of my life have been stolen, because of the lack of a normal connection, the lack of an adequate international economic system, the lack of rights to life and the eternal eight-year fear and inability to plan for more than a week forward - it's a crime and theft. But I am an artist, so I acted on it even sitting in the basements of bomb shelters.
