Ukrainian Artist Creates These Tragic Drawings Illustrating Horrors Of The War

According to Olga Wilson, an artist based in Ukraine: “I would like to share my “war notes” made through drawings. We have only one home – it’s our planet. We should keep it safe.

In the 21st century we, all people and countries, should evolve and never act from a position of force, but from a position of negotiations, diplomacy, rationalism and consensus. It’s the main goal of humanity.

War is the worst mistake.

The best solution for war is never to start it.

We all are connected. Our energies and souls are connected.

Use your energy to create good, not evil.”

Spectacular Winning Photos of The World Press Photo 2022

Story of the year: Saving Forests with Fire

Indigenous Australians strategically burn land in a practice known as cool burning, in which fires move slowly, burn only the undergrowth, and remove the buildup of fuel that feeds bigger blazes. The Nawarddeken people of West Arnhem Land have been practising controlled cool burns for tens of thousands of years and see fire as a tool to manage their 1.39m-hectare homeland.

“It was so well put together that you cannot even think of the images in disparate ways. You look at it as a whole, and it was very well done” – global jury chair Rena Effendi. Photograph: Matthew Abbott, Australia, for National Geographic/Panos Pictures/World Press Photo 2022 Continue reading »
