At this year's Burning Man festival in the USA, a Ukrainian team will present an installation called I'm Fine, created from artifacts damaged by Russian rockets, shells and bullets.

This was reported by the initiator of the project and the founder of the charity fund «Return Alive» Vitalii Deineha.

The installation contains a variety of elements, including shot and torn by fragments «Pedestrian Crossing» signs (12 in total), which symbolize the people who died at the hands of the Russian military at the crossings.

Two «Children» signs are also used, one of which was taken near a destroyed school in the Kherson region. The installation included pieces of the Kherson trade center, fragments of fences, gates, solar panels, transformers, sports and children's playgrounds.

Deineha noted that the art object symbolizes the fact that, despite all the rocket attacks and attacks by the Russian army, Ukrainians have learned to «be strong and celebrate life.» He emphasized that this reality is «scarier than night terrors.»

The initiator of the project also reported that the team's idea made an impression on many viewers.

«One American said that there is so much grief and death in our installation that it is hard to bear and wept. Another noted that she has a lot of strength, because if we were victims and not warriors, we would not have brought her here,» wrote Vitalii Deineha.
