Abstract
Sunflower of Europe: The Resilience of Ukrainian Nature through the Prism of Music, Art, and Poetry is a multimedia composition project that explores Ukrainian identity, resistance, and cultural survival in the face of war. Drawing on jazz composition, Ukrainian folk music, visual media, and the poetry of Taras Shevchenko, the project reflects a personal journey shaped by the artist’s half-Ukrainian heritage and emotional response to the ongoing conflict. Through original compositions, improvisation, and curated imagery, the work expresses both collective trauma and enduring hope, positioning art as a vessel for memory, empathy, and healing. Bridging disciplines, it aims to foster intercultural understanding while honoring the strength of a nation and the quiet resilience passed down through generations.
