Six artists share what it’s like to keep working during Russia’s ongoing attack.
This drawing is based on three photographs of one mass grave. I remember the shock when I saw the. We were all in shock. We couldn't look at these photos. We knew that terrible things were happening there, but we could not even imagine that they would be so wild, horrible. All night and the next day, I thought about these hands and legs, which randomly stuck out from under the sand.
I drew this illustration in a row after the picture with the graves of Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel. I had a feeling that I just had to draw exactly that, no matter how horrid it looked. Perhaps it was a way to accept these atrocities and express how hurt I was by what was happening.I lived in Kharkiv all my life, but it’s a hot spot now. That’s not an exaggeration; the city is bombed by artillery 60-80 times a day. Recently, shells on parachutes began to fall on Kharkiv.
Now I am in conditional safety, but I have had insomnia for the second month due to stress. Every day I read the news. My parents stayed in Kharkiv. I worry all the time. But work is work, and people won't wait for me to sleep or to stop worrying. So I just sit down and do what I have to. I don't work on any personal projects; there is no strength for them. If a new personal drawing has appeared, it means that either I have a day off or have read some news after which I cannot be silent.
Every day we are grateful to our army that we were able to sleep in silence this night, but then you realize that this silence is given at the cost of someone else's life. We are now working and living for everyone. Those who can, do volunteer work; those who can work, they boost our country's economy. I spend a large percentage of my salary on donations to our army fund.
