Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna 2019

"Untitled. Srawberry Andreevna" is a 2019 work by Alevtyna Kakhidze. The piece depicts two stick figures engaged in a conversation written out in Russian on the page. The figure on the left is saying "I am a mother who can protect her children from Ukrainian nationalists." The figure on the right, who is identified as "Mom," replies, "Don't worry, they say: 'Let Ukraine surrender.'" The figures are rendered in black and white and set against a white background. The work is a commentary on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as seen through the eyes of a mother. The simple style and straightforward message make the work accessible to viewers of all ages.
