Жовтень

It has been a year since I had to move out of my home, the last memory of the landscape out of my window is still in my mind, yet fading slowly. It was October, the golden month. And I decided to revisit this memory of mine to give it another life. Жовтень – October, my favorite month of the year. This memory is forever embedded in the pixels of this poster now.

MARIA by Lesia Maruschak

Lesia Maruschak’s art book memorializes the 1932-33 famine in Ukraine. Maruschak has transformed her knowledge of this period into an art book. It is a metaphor for memory, which is increasingly seen, as not as simple recall. This is a mental function by which information is continuously stored, organized, and changed. The art book got a Prix at Kyiv’s Arsenal International Book Festival (2019).

INDEPENDENT

On this poster I drew a symbol of courage, stability and indomitability of the Ukrainian people – the Monument “Motherland”, which is located in the capital of Ukraine – Kyiv. Although there is now a war in our country, we remain strong and independent.

Home. Memories

‘Home. Memories’ is an art installation that was designed around an old defunct fuel tank at the Ukrainian Vernadsky Research Base. The installation represents a typical Ukrainian house – one associated with grandmotherly coziness. A thin detailed frame around the tank resembles a pencil sketch: as if someone, reminiscing, draws their childhood home from memory. The tank’s walls are adorned with a mini exposition with symbolic mementos from Ukraine encapsulated in epoxy resin.

Her journey began with the creation of simple visual concepts for each phenakistoscope, bringing letters and words to life. She infused her work with the beauty of Cyrillic letters and drew inspiration from Ukrainian poetry, transforming the study of animation’s roots into a vibrant hand-drawing exploration of typography in motion.

disenchantment

Through this poster, the artist conveys the universally relatable emotion of disenchantment. It’s that feeling of utter letdown after a period of being captivated by an idea, a person, a place, or anything else.

Author adopts a minimalistic approach, employing just two colors and a single word. For this typographic design, the artist opted for the Work Sans font by Ukrainian designer Ivan Tsanko.
