Alevtyna Kakhidze's 2022 "Untitled" drawing is a powerful commentary on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The figure of a man, possibly representing the artist or a Ukrainian citizen, is suspended between two signs pointing towards "Гари" (meaning "Hot") and "Погані" (meaning "Bad"). The "before" inscription suggests a sense of displacement, while the red flags and the date of the invasion, 24.02.2022, amplify the urgency of the situation. The artwork's stark lines and simple forms create a raw and immediate visual language, highlighting the profound impact of the war.
