Inspiration
The inspiration for Dark Eyes (2025) comes from a heartfelt desire to show how music can connect cultures even in times of conflict. The song, written in 1843, holds a special emotional place in both Russian and Ukrainian cultures. By choosing this powerful piece, the project honors their shared history and reminds the world that peace begins when we acknowledge our shared humanity. I wanted to create something that doesn’t take sides — but instead brings hearts closer together.
