I got this book as a gift for my 12th birthday. For years I knew nothing to do with it and it lay abandoned in my drawer. After years, I began writing down my thoughts as page-long entries every day. Anything that was on my mind or just events that I always wanted to remember. It helps me a lot since then to create a clear vision in all the confusion of life.
Diaries are a person’s thoughts, feelings and experiences made tangible. They show the humanity residing in everyone. That is why it is my Object of Humanity.

The matryoshka reminds me of home in Belarus, especially of my family who lives and/or lived there. It reminds of tradition, childhood, family, security- a small talisman fully awakened memories and moments that make me happy. Riding a bicycle with my grandfather, strolling in markets with my grandmother, going mushroom picking with my uncle. My very personal Object of Humanity! Even if some kilometers separate us from each other, they are always with me in my heart and looking at the matryoshka, I know exactly, I am with them too.
