Untitled 2022

"Untitled" (2022) by Alevtyna Kakhidze is a stark black-and-white drawing that uses minimalist imagery to address the complex issue of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The artwork depicts a figure in a slumped posture, representing the Ukrainian people, while a second figure, a Russian academic, ascends a staircase marked "Nothing Personal." This powerful visual juxtaposition highlights the callousness of the war's justifications and the devastating impact on those affected by it. The artist's choice of stark lines and simple forms further emphasizes the gravity of the situation, making a poignant commentary on the human cost of conflict.
