Salad with a pepper barrier and egg jets, echoing Poland's closed airspace.
A sharp salad with grilled pepper strips laid diagonally across the plate as a closed airspace, flanked by halved eggs as fighter jets. The spicy dressing and pickles add tension. The silhouette refers to the airspace closure during the Russian attacks.
