The phrase “Ut desint vires, tamen est laudanda voluntas” translates to: “Even if the strength is lacking, the will is still praiseworthy.” Historically used by students, it emphasizes the value of effort and intention, suggesting that trying, even without success or sufficient capability, deserves recognition and praise. It reflects the idea that the willingness to strive matters as much as the outcome.

Ut desint vires, tamen est laudanda voluntas

Piano: Khrystyna Beniuk

“De perdidos al río” is a Spanish idiom that literally means:
"if we're already lost — let's jump into the river."

In the literal sense, it refers to someone driven to the edge, who jumps into a river out of despair.
In the figurative sense, it expresses the idea that when everything is lost, a person chooses to take a risk — the lesser of two evils.

This piece illustrates the perspective of a person from the bottom of the river, having jumped in out of hopelessness — a moment of surrender, but also strange clarity. It captures the emotional state of someone who, after losing everything, views life from a place where no further fall is possible.
