“The Worm Was Born": Anticipating a Celebration of Life in Every Form
Personal exhibition of visual artist Nadiia Kushnir

“The Worm Was Born," an upcoming exhibition that will captivate visitors with its profound exploration of life's diversity and the philosophy of living in the moment. The exhibition uses the earthworm as a metaphor for human existence, highlighting the importance of every life and the beauty of diversity.

This exhibition features a collection of paintings that beautifully illustrate how every individual, no matter how seemingly insignificant, plays a vital role in the tapestry of existence. By focusing on the earthworm, the exhibition emphasizes the beauty of diversity in nature. The message is clear: just as this one worm has its place and purpose, so does every person in the world.

"The Worm Was Born" also delves into the idea of being anything and anyone you want to be. The worm, a simple creature, is depicted in imaginative contexts—wearing a crown, exploring outer space, even being a tree. These playful representations encourage visitors to shed societal expectations and embrace their true selves.

At the heart of the exhibition is a profound philosophy of life. The worm's humble existence, rooted in the soil, serves as a reminder that life’s greatest joys often come from appreciating the small things. "The Worm Was Born" encourages a slower, more mindful approach to life, teaching us to live in the present and savor each moment.

"The Worm Was Born" is more than just an art exhibition; it is a celebration of life in all its forms. It reminds us that every individual, no matter how small, has a significant role to play and celebrates the power of self-expression and diversity. Nadiia Kushnir invites everyone to experience this remarkable journey with her and learn through the metaphor of the humble worm that life is something to be celebrated and cherished every single day.
