From a distance the installation says I’m Fine. Step closer to see nothing is fine. A special typography made from war torn materials gathered from all over Ukraine tells a powerful story. Unveiled at Burning Man, the installation did not only speak to the festival crowd, it reached a global audience to keep the focus of the world onto the war.
