we are not born to die!! what are you talking about!! do you think a book begins just to finish? do you think a song opens with a beautiful chord just for it to end? you don’t read the book to finish it, you read the book to eat up the excitement and the emotions it evokes!! to learn and to digest and to fall in love and be heartbroken!! you listen to the song to dance and dance and sing your throat raw!!! to cry and smile and swell with the harmonies!! yes, we are born with the inevitable fate of death, we are mortal after all, but that is merely the finale of the play!! the final act, the closing of the curtains - we are not born to take a bow and exit stage left!! we are born to love and be joyous and yell and move and learn and cry and feelfeelfeel!!!  we are not born to die, silly, we’re born to live!!!

This is an interactive web page showcasing the lives and artworks of Ukrainian female artists of the 1960s. 

The site includes an interactive story game featuring mesmerizing graphics, in which the player, taking the role of the artist, must evade the secret police.

The site exhibits photographs from these women’s lives as well as their artworks, many of which can be seen directly referenced in the game’s design, especially the works of Lyubov Panchenko (see below).

Here are some more, by Halyna Zubchenko and Lyudmyla Semykina, respectively.

“The combination of that brilliant brain and fragile body is very loveable. She has a sweet and childlike nature, from which her intellect is completely separate. I have never known anyone who was so profoundly sensitive, and who makes less of a business of that sensitiveness.”
