    “Electra At The Tomb Of Agamemnon” By Lord Frederic Leighton

    An image of a man from “Electra At The Tomb Of Agamemnon” painting in a ruined city of Kyiv

    "This artwork is about understanding and feeling war in your home. It’s hard to imagine it. No one wants to think about it, everyone thinks that they have a lucky ticket in life. And it’s easy to stay away if you don't know what war is and you just get tired of seeing the news. Unfortunately, only those who have seen the war can truly understand.

    The photograph was taken near Lukyanivska metro station, which is near the center of Kyiv. A Russian missile hit the civilian house early morning on March 15."
