"My Love is Ukraine"

Special thanks: To the Higher Power for guiding this journey, to the people of Ukraine, to nature, to everyone who inspired this vision, and a special thanks to my close friend R. for always inspiring me to create and for his unwavering support.

"My Love is Ukraine" is a poignant music video that weaves a narrative of struggle, awakening, and rebirth, inspired by the director’s personal observations and the lived experiences of the Ukrainian people. Drawing from a deep understanding of Ukraine’s history, the film reflects on how, despite being one of the world’s richest countries in natural resources, fertile lands, and minerals, its people have endured poverty and exploitation. This paradox stems from self-appointed authorities—masquerading as a state—whose primary goal has been personal enrichment, robbing the nation and fragmenting it over decades of so-called independence. These harsh realities, coupled with collective manipulation and fear, have distorted the nation’s worldview, fueling internal unrest and external turmoil.
The video’s visuals and lyrics tell a transformative story:
"Ukraine is destitute, it weeps upon our faces. The gentlemen have robbed, their reign has ended! A new dawn has broken, bright and beautiful days. He rose from his knees and broke all the curses, healed by love, he shattered the heavy chains."
The journey begins with dark imagery—hands in black gloves greedily gathering gold from mountain crevices, symbolizing oligarchic greed, as a statue representing the people stirs under stormy skies. As the earth rises and the hands disintegrate into golden light, the statue awakens, its eyes opening to a new reality. This mirrors the lyrics: "Winds for a long time, leaving this wonderful land. Through tears, the people rise, happy once again."
Rooted in Vedic wisdom, the narrative shifts to the power of living in the "Here and Now," where happiness and harmony can restore balance. This signifies that true rebirth and happiness arise when our inner state remains unshaken by external events we witness around us. By sustaining inner harmony and love over time, a profound transformation begins to manifest externally, reflecting a deeper alignment with peace and joy. The awakening spreads, as "lovely fields sparkled in the sky, and waterfalls in the mountains began to flow," symbolizing a collective rise from a deep slumber. This rebirth is both personal and national, reflecting the growing awareness among Ukrainians to reclaim their harmony, a movement that radiates outward.
The foundation of this music video lies in the author’s personally written verses, translated and adapted into English, adding a deeply personal layer to the narrative.

The video’s innovative visuals—blending stormy desolation with golden revival—echo the song’s message of healing and unity, making it a powerful tribute to Ukraine’s enduring spirit.
