Bucha: Tethered Demise

Oil on Remnant Linen, Framed

24” x 52”

2025

Inspired by video footage from Bucha, Ukraine (2022), this painting reflects the forced march of local civilians by Russian soldiers moments before their execution.

Bound together, each person was made to hold the body of the one before him while reaching around his own neck — a human chain led toward death.

The work is a meditation on cruelty, witness, and the collapse of ordinary life under occupation.
