Sunrise, Independence Square, Kiev, Ukraine, 2009

A statue of one of Kiev’s legendary founders holding a goose in one hand and reaching for the sun with the other expresses the start of a new day in the city’s busy Independence Square. By taking the color out of the image and replacing it with black and white imagery, I make the scene less real and more symbolic, a good fit for a statue of a legend.

That's why this statue was placed in Independence Square, linking the founding of Ukraine with its eventual rebirth as a democratic republic.

It also expresses the hope for a relatively new nation - still feeling the birth pangs of a relatively new democracy.
