Rally for Ukraine

2/25/23 Rally in support of Ukraine, Seattle Center

 

Coincidental to USk Seattle’s sketch outing at the Seattle Center today, a rally in support of Ukraine was happening at the same time. In addition to the bright yellow and blue Ukrainian flags and wraps that participants wore, the primary visual focus was a tidy arrangement of children’s shoes and boots on the ground. Until I Googled it later, I was unaware that the shoes represent the hundreds of children who have died since Russia invaded Ukraine one year ago.
