Matlakas during his residency program in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2019. The artist stayed 45 days in Kharkiv thinking aboout the conflict of Ukraine and Russia, thinking of a way to connect both countries and create connection. In a war, both parties care about victory, their family to be alive...that's what any nation require about its people...but how about if you were the people form every country? You would like peace...that's why I made a pajamas for a tank...war, go to sleep...peace, wake up!
