About this work: Fear to Speak Out ?
This work can have different meanings depending on who is viewing it and his/her/it's relation towards the war between Russia and Ukraine. Hence the question mark in the title.
Maybe if you sing out of tune with the Kremlin 'conductor', they make you shut up?
Maybe from old to young people, generations don't speak out to avoid ending up in jail?
Maybe Ukrainans blame the Russian people that they not speak out about the war?
Maybe Ukrainians tell Russians to shut up about the war because they just follow Kremlin propaganda and do not know what they really talk about?
Russia's barbaric invasion of Ukraine is the conceptual theme of Raymond's current works.
Everyday objects are placed in a different context in hope that the viewer thinks about the violence in the
world in current times.
Raymond supports the resistance against senseless violence and the delusions of an authoritarian Kremlin madman,
the destruction of the culture, and the continued suffering, of the Ukrainian people.
