This is the Year 2022 in Pictures project. 2022 will be remembered as a bifurcation point for the future of the whole of humanity.
The world that has survived COVID—19 coronavirus epidemic is now facing an even bigger threat: potential Third World War.
We keep working on the picture of 2022. Every day.
Every day we review all the news, pick the brightest highlights and then make a picture. We, creators of this project,
stay out of politics. Our goal is to provide a fair, unbiased view of what is happening in the world and
not to become another propaganda tool. Our project is inspired by sand mandala: Tibetan Buddhist tradition involving the
creation of mandalas made of colored sand. The monks
meticulously draw up intricate multicolored ornaments using special conically shaped metal funnels called chak-purs.
