The circles on the hatch imitate a spiral. In a sign system this denotes the Universe (Hatch = Universe)
Cigarette butts are the dirt people fill the universe with. This is a well in which they spit, and from which they will have to drink

It is difficult to realize that the life of Ukrainians will never be the same as it was before the war. Each of us who became victims of these events will never again feel as safe and peaceful as in those times when we did not know what it was like to hear explosions. The war took lives, houses and much more irrevocably.

This work is a statement against objectivization and maltreatment of women. The patriarchal society is accustomed to treat women as a decoration, always demanding of them to be pretty, well-groomed and pleasant to the eye. But this is not what a woman is made for. She is not a toy, she is fed up with having to live up to somebody else’s standards. The image of a faceless woman with lipstick and nail polish that rather look like signs of torture, illustrate the severity of the problem.
Poster design. Work speaks of the shelter as a place where safety can be found. And also about the loss of identity when you, as a refugee, are permanently in a “safe place”.

At the forefront, a woman, representing the soul of Ukraine, stretches her arms skyward, releasing a ribbon in the national colors of blue and yellow. Circling the woman are storks, birds revered in Ukrainian folklore for bringing happiness and heralding the arrival of spring. Here, they symbolize the resilience of the nation, reminding us of Ukraine’s ability to renew itself despite adversities.
This is the brand identity and packaging for a tiny family business in Ukraine – ‘The House of Happiness’ eco-house. The packaging for “The House of Happiness” products – homemade preserves (jam, dried fruits/tea and cider) was a part of the brand identity. The brand itself is an attempt to preserve a piece of happiness, summer and caring about your loved ones. That is the reason why the naive style of illustration and typography was chosen.
Sometimes freedom isn’t something that is given for granted. Sometimes it’s something that has to be fought for. Sometimes you don’t choose this fight, but the fight chooses you. And only after you let go of (or cut off) everything that’s been holding you down – you can finally set yourself free.
This work is about Ukraine in the first place. But the author dedicates it to everyone who is fighting for their freedom – no matter how big or small the scale of the fight is.

Within the soldier’s nurturing embrace, a glowing orb reveals a girl letting free a dove, epitomizing the hope and spirit of a nation under siege yet undeterred.
Mariia uses her art as a form of visual diary – each painting is a fossilized imprint of a given stage in her life as an artist, a lover, an immigrant, and simply a starry-eyed young girl looking for her place in the sun.

Antony believes, that the depiction of the War could be only possible through the private and intimate experience. The present artwork tells the story of the regular man who used to love his feet. He took care of them and took a real joy in his beautiful limbs. Usually, we don’t really feel it, accepting our body parts as an obvious given. Everything changed, when the sudden horror of war descends upon you. And one day that man found his heel brutally mutilated by the mine. Nothing would be the
