This project is about connecting to the artist’s origin, her childhood and the natural beauty of independent Ukraine.
Monika, the girl in the picture, is a childhood friend of Olga’s whom she hasn’t seen in 13 years before crossing path in Toronto. Monika is dressed in traditional Ukrainian clothes and the projected video of Zakarpattia was filmed by her a few years earlier. It showcases the vast beauty of the landscape and adds to the feeling of home-ness.

Book cover and illustrations for Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, a novel by M. Kotsiubynsky, published by Discursus. The novel is a Ukrainian cult classic story which shows the traditional way of life in the Carpathians and incorporates elements of Ukrainian folklore. To give my design more authentic feeling, I did some research on traditional clothing, ornaments, folk art typical for the region. The color palette and details come from the traditional Ukrainian embroidery, rich in contrast.

Chornobaivka, a village in the Kherson region, became a famous Ukrainian internet meme because of the constant strikes by the Ukrainian army against the Russians. After the strikes, the occupiers foolishly returned there again and again, with a total of 28 strikes. On the road sign is the name of the village with the Ukrainian letter “Ї” added. It turns the name into “Chornoyibaivka” by adding the root “yiba” (“yibaty” in Ukrainian — “to fuck”). In English: “Chorno-fuck-baivka”.

In digital worlds, populating environments with a large quantity of unique objects would be too expensive and time-consuming. Instead, they rely on repetition of a limited number of shapes, cleverly camouflaged by alternating colours and textures. A series of mushroom-like objects consciously employs this logic in an analogue plaster-casting process: an algorythmic repetition of shapes and pigments creates a sense of abundance, while also shattering the illusion of an endless variety.

This object is my reflection on the war in Ukraine.
The black flag as a symbol of evil and the dark times we live in by russia.
An olive branch that symbolizes peace and hope for a bright future for Ukraine.

Gaming is a genre particularly associated with post-apocalyptic survival scenarios — its protagonist-driven narration encourages romanticization of a loner fighting against a hostile world. Protagonist is usually on a quest, making acquaintances and alliances, but remaining solely responsible for their survival. She would carry her entire possessions in a ‘backpack’ — an inventory that can be opened and scrolled through, to equip the newest equipment and toss out the one that outlived its use.

At all the checkpoints that I had to cross, there were rushizts aged 35 to 50, I did not meet one 19-year-old… Everyone is conscious here…
Not Putin took the gun,
Not Putin took the rifle,
Not Putin got up to the guns,
Not Putin got up to the rockets!
Not Putin took the helm,
Not Putin took the wheel,
Not Putin throw bombs
to Kharkiv and Dnipro,
Not Putin brought a tank here,
And hundreds of thousands of warriors
And though none of them is Putin,
But everyone is Putin in fact!

This work is called «гавкіт» (from ukranian – barking). It has many meanings that can be interpreted differently. But the central idea laid down by the author is the reaction of society. This collage deliberately tries to be aggressive, but evokes a slight feeling of helplessness – a barking dog cries and a “sensitive content” window closes the eye.
