"Untitled" (2022) by Alevtyna Kakhidze is a black and white drawing composed of two figures. The figures are drawn in a simplified, almost cartoonish style and the inscription "Halyna Pruk" suggests this is a portrait of the artist's friend or a self-portrait. The writing in Ukrainian translates to "Pushkin-bye Putin, poetry doesn't kill" and "I'm sorry poetry doesn't kill." The work explores the themes of poetry, art, and the current sociopolitical climate in Ukraine, with the artist's signature at the top right side of the piece.
