Sonyachnyi Narod (People of the sun) is a sincere attempt to come to terms with the violent, war-stricken present through reinterpretation of Ukraine's past - a history of people fighting for freedom, and imagining the future - a life of peace and love. The basis for the research is the poetry of 1960s Ukrainian poet Mykola Vinhranovskiy.

human?.. is a musical journey: a compilation of daily diaries written during the war alongside texts from the Bible. With these texts in hand, over the span of 2 weeks, the artists explored topics of love, acceptance, forgiveness, anger, sin, and hatred.
