Original artwork description:

This drawing is part of a personal three-work series created in response to the war in Ukraine. Made during a period of creative silence, the piece reflects the inner pressure of unspoken thoughts and emotions that demanded form. The line reaches the very edges of the paper, symbolizing the breaking of boundaries — a quiet metaphor for how conflict enters a life and reshapes it.

The title “Reflection 18×18” refers to the two cities that equally shaped the artist’s life: 18 years in Mariupol and 18 years in Kharkiv. The minimalist composition captures a moment of vulnerability, resilience, and the desire to remain whole despite unresolved memories.
