Original artwork description
Reflection 18×18 is a drawing made in silence — when thoughts grew too loud for words, but not too loud for a single, controlled line.
The composition extends fully to the edges of the paper. This is not a compositional choice but a statement: war breaks boundaries, and what had once been contained — memory, fear, grief, the desire to remain whole — can no longer be held within any frame. The thin line is the only thing allowed to escape. It moves with restraint, but the pressure behind it is visible.
The title carries a private arithmetic: 18 years in Mariupol, 18 years in Kharkiv. Two cities equally formative, both now marked by the same war. This work is not an illustration of trauma — it is a quiet acknowledgement. A breath. A trace of what remains when words fall silent.
This is the first work in the Reflection series — three drawings created during a period of intentional creative silence in response to the war in Ukraine. The other works in the series, Mari u Polia and Sunrise by the Sea, are available on my Artfinder profile.
