Art + Solar Panel Project for Ukrainian Soldiers 2023

Overlapping hands, supporting one another and holding the Viburnum berry and a painterly image of the berrys were generated through AI in support of the Ukrainian forces. The berry is said to have mystical qualities and provide, love, luck and protection to all who encounter them. The artwork was applied to the back of solar panels along with the artwork of 40+ other artists and sent to Ukraine so the soldiers could charge their cell phones. We also made a deck of playing cards with the artwork and sent the cards to Ukraine as well. It is a small gesture of support that made us feel like we were doing something to help from so far away. We received a photo back of two soldiers holding one of the many panels we sent.
