A Burden of Youth
by Nini Bukia and Armen Arshaluysyan

We were looking for a theme that both of us shared and cared about. What is it that connects two young people even more than their origin, culture, and upbringing?
It is a burden of youth, we decided.
I asked Armen to write a piece, a reflection, upon the theme – what is a burden of youth in his understanding. I based my piece on his reflection and made a graphic illustrated video about our mutual burdens.
One can simply identify our ideas based on our voices that read aloud our thoughts in our Languages.
And for a cherry on the pie – we decided to add a reflection of Artificial Intelligence, the most stereotypical mind that humans have created with internet data all over the world. What does it mean to be young? How does it feel to be young? What do we think of, when we are thinking about infinite youth energy?
