“Difficult times crystallize the truth, distilling the precious from the ordinary, the real from the illusory. The last three years of big war have transformed me, my family, and my country. These thoughts accompanied me as I ascended Kilimanjaro alongside my dearest friends — soldiers who bear the wounds of this war. I saw their faces illuminated with unshakable determination, raw emotion, and pure joy as they reached their goal. That was real. That was truth.
I do not wish for war, yet I cannot return to the life that once was.
I have chosen truth. I presented this collection without rules, without an audience. I stepped away from the weight of trends and public expectations — to create in silence, where meaning reveals itself — uncompromised , untamed, and free from the echoes of opinion.
I want to pass this truth on to the people around the world who wear my collection. They will carry with them a piece of the sun, the essence of courage, and the quiet strength that lies within.
I dedicate this collection to five Ukrainian warriors who became part of my own transformation: Olga, Mikhailo, Oleksandr, Vlad, and Roman — who did not merely reach the highest peak on prosthetics but ascended on the sheer power of their spirit.
Thank you for the wings that lift this collection.”
