Dust. The Blind Master Prevor Oleksandr Serhiyovych — born on December 16, 1984. He underwent three keratoplasty surgeries. A master who, due to medical negligence and the whims of Ukrainian legislation, lost his chance to become a great artist. In 1997, he underwent his first surgery on his right eye (he now has 50% vision). On his left eye, two surgeries were performed in 1998 and 2001, but the implant failed to take root both times (his vision in this eye is now only 0.02%). In 2007, funds were raised for another surgery on his left eye, a date was set, but just a few weeks before the procedure, such operations were banned in Ukraine. He chose not to have the surgery abroad, as it would have cost three times as much. And so, everything remained the same. For 10 years, Oleksandr worked at a company specializing in granite processing. Using an angle grinder, he carved simple elements into granite slabs. Due to the thick dust (despite wearing a protective mask), he developed chronic coughing and has numerous scars on his hands and face. Because of his poor eyesight, he cannot do other work, and in Korostyshiv, there are no alternative job opportunities. Now, Sasha does not work at all—he fears losing his sight completely. Due to his third-degree disability, no employer will hire him. If not for all these difficulties, he would have opened an art studio and pursued a transport business in parallel.
