To be continued...

All of them were talking about him, the mystery of the sculpture of this artist Yuriy.

Olena, young and experienced journalist of this newspaper, could not kill this story.

She decided to find out all the truth.

Yitia Kavlo, what all of them are talking about, and Yuriy himself is only talking about such mystery.

Yuriy was a witness of his own and innovative works of metal.

His sculptures were painted on the roof of the very place.

But now it is the worst, the most mysterious one from Niklabez.

Olena studied different versions, heard from this, but no story was laid to buy.

Olena decided to talk about Yuriy himself.

After his search for Olena, he found him in a big mystery room.

Among the various metal and instruments, Olena was given a lock and she wanted to break it.

This is a part of the process of the final journey of Olena.

Olena did not leave.

Olena returned to her birthday at night.

She saw Yuriy in a month.

She went to the hospital.

What do you do?

She tried.

Yuriy saw her in the head and looked at her.

I said to her that she had a smile on her face.

She had a new sculpture.

Yuriy used to be flat, but the shape was important.

Yuriy opened her head and appeared in her new work.

Olena was a square and harmonious son of the old and the new.

This is a hidden mystery.

At first, I thought of it as a surprise.

But now you all saw the journey in Yuriy.

Olena understood that in another way, to see the whole,

you have to remember and look at all the new perspectives.

She understood that the important thing is to see more, than just what you see.

On the big day, when the world was light,

but the sculpture of Yuriy appeared on the border, from where everyone was.

And Olena and Yuriy understood that the important thing,

that each building needs their own time,

each story, their development.

And I say goodbye.

I always know where this place is.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

The green meadows along the Denipro embankment bloomed with spring colors.

The sun was shining all over the river,

but the light was shining in the sunset.

The sun glistened on the river,

and a light breeze scattered the petals of securitries.

In this beautiful place, there was always a lot of people.

From the view of what the secrets were,

we saw and laughed at.

This beautiful place was always bustling with people.

Visitors admired the views and organized picnics.

This time, everyone was talking about only one thing,

a mysterious disappearance of a sculpture by the local artist Yuriy.

Olena, young and experienced journalist of the local newspaper,

couldn't ignore this story.

Olena, a young and curious journalist from the local newspaper,

couldn't ignore this story.

She decided to uncover the whole truth.

She was intrigued by why everyone was telling different stories,

yet Yuriy himself remained so enigmatic.

Yuriy was known for his talented metal creations.

His sculptures adorned the embankment, inspired by the city itself.

But now, one of them, the most mysterious, had vanished without a trace.

Alina studied various versions, listened to the locals,

but none of the stories added up.

She decided to speak with Yuriy herself.

After much searching, Alina found him in a small workshop nearby.

Among different metals and tools, he seemed reserved and reluctant to talk.

It's part of the process, he explained succinctly, padding his chest.

Alina didn't give up.

She returned to the embankment at midnight.

Under the moonlight, she saw Yuriy.

He was hiding something by the river.

What are you doing?

She asked.

Yuriy slowly lifted his head and looked at her.

I'm creating, he said with a smile.

Under a tarpaulin was a new sculpture.

Its lines were smooth and the shape was astonishing.

Yuriy unveiled it, revealing his new work.

It was complex and harmonious, a synthesis of old and new.

It's hidden art.

At first, I intended it as a surprise.

But now you've seen everything, explained Yuriy.

Alina realized that sometimes to see the whole picture,

you need to stop and look at everything from a new perspective.

She understood the importance of seeing more than just the obvious.

On Easter, when the city was celebrating,

Yuriy's new sculpture appeared on the embankment,

surprising everyone.

And Olena and Yuriy understood that it's important

that each building needs its own time,

each story, its development.

And ultimately, beauty will always find its place.
