The painting Big Water is dedicated to the tragedy and environmental disaster caused by the occupier in Ukraine at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant.

That morning (June 6), I was rollerblading in a local park, when I sat down to rest for a while, it was about 6-7 am, and I opened the news on my phone and read about the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, a terrible terrorist attack by the russians.

On the first day, people bought water in supermarkets because they realized that our city was connected to the water supply from the Kakhovka reservoir. At 9 a.m., almost all the water was already sold out. On that day, I had the same feeling as on February 24. The first thing I saw was a video of a woman filming a flooded zoo, which was covered by water in the first minutes, animals andI immediately had horrible images in my head of how many people were under water, how many defenseless and innocent animals, how much fauna was destroyed, how many people's homes would be flooded. This is a real environmental disaster.

This painting is based on a photo by Ukrainian photographer Konstantin Liberov.
The Kherson region suffered the most, so Ukrainians, volunteers, and people who cared immediately began to collect aid and send it to Kherson, many people went there themselves to take people out of there, to get animals from the roofs of buildings on boats.
This picture shows houses that reached even 4 floors, which were flooded to the very roof, including many green trees.
Every day we saw videos and photos of people rescuing animals that had been sitting for 3-4 days without eating or drinking. The local post offices started sending things to people affected by the flood in Kherson for free.

Currently, the Velykyi Luh and Kamianska Sich national parks are gradually turning into a desert. It will take decades to restore these areas to their natural state - to reproduce flora and fauna. Already, the hydroelectric power plant explosion has caused billions of dollars in damage to these parks.
The hydroelectric power plant explosion affected the shallowing of the Dnipro River. Dead fish are washing ashore in Zaporizhzhia.
