Flowers for Peace in the World.
Our planet earth shines alone with the light of reason in the vast universe. Mankind uses the gift of consciousness for constant wars. There was not a single month on the planet without a war. Sylvie and I decided to create this project "Flowers for Peace in the World" about what will be clear to everyone on the planet without translation, these are photographs of flowers taken by photographers and amateurs, as well as artists from different countries.
Now, there is a war for the independence of my beloved Ukraine, and Sylvie and I want to draw the attention of the world to the problem of humanism and humanity on the eve of the new year 2023! Peace to the peoples and love the planet and flowers, for the earth is our common home and flowers are its decoration.
The "Flowers for Peace in the World" is now complete.

From my side (JR) pictures has their own symbolism:
- colors of Ukraine (blue - sky and yellow - flowers),
- destruction of the country by Russian invaders (destroyed building),
- Ukrainian nation (yellow flowers),
- Couple of people: Man and Woman - future of the country (two yellow flowers).

Peace begins with understanding and appreciation for each other's differences. Just like these flowers, we can all coexist and create something beautiful together, no matter our differences.

Cherry blossoms, seen with a friend,
A long time ago, in spring.
Sunflowers, seen with my family,
A long time ago, in summer.
Thatch of silver grass, wove with my children,
A long time ago, in autumn.
A friend, gone.
A wife, a husband, gone.
A daughter, a son, gone.
Gone to flowers, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Snow flowers, bloomed on the grave.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Oh, when will I know?
友人と見た、桜の花。
遠い昔、春のこと。
家族で見た、ひまわり。
遠い昔、夏のこと。
ススキの葺き替え、子供と一緒に編んだ。
遠い昔、秋に。
友だちが、いなくなった。
妻が、夫が、いなくなった。
娘も、息子も、いない。
みんな花になってしまった。
ああ、いつになったら、彼らは学ぶのだろう？
雪の花、お墓に咲いた。
花はどこに行ってしまったのだろう？
ああ、いつになったら知ることができるのだろう？
