These socks are inspired by the wheat fields of my motherland Ukraine.
Because of the unjustified war, this year farmers can ́t start working in the fields in some regions, and in other regions, they are working in armor with the hope to provide bread and hope that the field will not be bombed.
I feel heartbroken to see my country in ruins. So, I wanted to plant this wheat in my broken heart to heal my country and me. With the hope to see soon the wheat fields in my free and safe Ukraine.
