This work is a visualization of the idea of the importance of going beyond one’s own comfort. When the figure literally remains naked going to meet the unknown but new and interesting.

‘Diary about Everything I’m Worrying About’ is a participatory diary-constructor album designed for designers and illustrators. It serves as a ‘sketch it down, write it down’ tool for documenting one’s current state of mind. The album encapsulates a mix of worries, a blend of layers, and a chaos of meanings, all rooted in the shared war experiences across 25 Ukrainian regions. It features a colored cover and monochrome pages intended for sketching.

Levітуй is a collection of digital clothing inspired by the work of designer Myron Levitsky. The goal was to draw the attention to a whole layer of Ukrainian 20th-century artists and designers whose work deserves recognition.

Designers released this collection on DRESSX, the world’s first digital clothing marketplace. They donate 30% of the sales from this digital collection to support the Lviv Municipal Art Center. They also conducted a presentation about Myron Levitsky in Projector Library.

This painting depicts the soil, which is the container of physical events in this world. It is a reflection on the symbolism of the life-giving force that preserves in the soil a multilayered history and memory of past centuries. The earth remembers everything, but humans do not. The earth gives life and keeps the dead in it. Only people have the courage to talk about and explore the land without losing the balance between individualizing and contextualizing the vision of the past.

the idea is pretty straightforward — every donation coin spent on defense saves lives in Ukraine. “a coin saved is a coin earned” becomes “a coin donated is a life saved”.

Political poster about Ukraine’s desire for freedom from Russia

Various posters:
1) work hard
2) Just something
3) Pressure
4) Temporary inconveniences

It’s about the refugee experience similar to the feeling of virtual reality, after leaving/loosing one’s home.

Poster for the Link Urban Art Festival in Brecia, Italy, that had Home as the topic of their exhibition. Russian genocidal war in Ukraine turned over 11 million of Ukrainians into displaced persons or refugees. Russia specifically targets civilians, and for seven months there’s been a flow of imagery of destroyed residential buildings – all of which used to be someone’s home.

the idea comes from visual contradiction and wordplay, ukrainian word “співчуття” (compassion) was divided into “спів” (singing) and “чуття” (feelings), transforming “compassion” into “singing of feelings”.

horizontal lines resemble musical staff, holding long rest (pause), giving sense of literal silence amidst dynamic increasing movement. yet one line breaks given order and wraps around something one couldn’t express and remained silent, showing gentle compassion and understanding.

The series was created for the Swedish Goethe Institute art program In Need Of Protection (2023). The program presented the body as the main topic – as something incredibly vulnerable but at the same time protective. The Pelican series refers to classical Christian martyrdom iconography to describe the immense sacrifice the Ukrainians fighting the Russian occupation are making.
