Behind The Artworks: Sidus Atrum - Розірване Небо (Torn Sky) (2024)

The cover of our latest release is a reflection on the essence of humanity amidst the chaos of war. At the heart of the artwork lies the fundamental concept of preserving humanity in the face of adversity. Yulia Zhuchkova masterfully depicts a world torn asunder by the ravages of conflict. Yet, amidst the rubble and ruin, there remains a glimmer of hope – a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

War shows a striking contrast between the different sides of human nature that manifest themselves in times of crisis. On the one hand, there are those who resort to violence and aggression, wielding weapons to inflict harm and sow destruction. Conversely, there are those who embody the virtues of selflessness and sacrifice, bravely standing up for their loved ones and preserving what little remains of their world. It is a quiet heroism that stems not from a desire for glory but from an unwavering commitment to the values that define our common humanity.

Central to the artwork is the question that echoes through the ages: Does humanity possess the strength to choose the path of life amidst the shadow of death and save this world from chaos? Yet, amidst the darkness, there is a glimmer of light. The dawn will come, and a small sprout emerging from the ashes of destruction serves as a beacon of hope for a brighter tomorrow. It is a reminder that even in our darkest hour, the seeds of life and resilience remain, ready to bloom once more.
