“The oak trees planted by Andrii, were grown from acorns, the pear, the apple trees, were tended and grafted together by friends, the sycamore and walnut trees were planted by Viktor, each tree on its own stone. The labyrinth grew around a wild pear tree, a sycamore so perfectly shaped that it seems to be painted. Tall oaks like two people, a small oak like a person, a desire to be with them, my soul is torn, I didn’t think I would disassemble a labyrinth made of stones that people brought from all over the world with my own hands, a desire to save the trees, Oleh is silent about what worries him, what is difficult to talk about, to hide, what cannot be talked about.
“My Secret Garden” is a story about a secret and creative garden on the outskirts of Perechyn, about the interaction of a group of artists and friends and their place of strength, about difficult times, about how they lived and listened to music together from which they took”.
Text: Petro Ryaska

Author’s text: “The desire to fence yourself off from the outside world. When you consciously ignore what surrounds you. An act of protection, an attempt to keep the inner silence. An escape from a reality that is difficult to accept. Is it really freeing or does it just create an illusion?”.:
