Here is a drawing made by Alevtyna Kakhidze, featuring several figures and inscriptions in Ukrainian. Note the recurring motif of blindness or obscured vision. A central figure wears a blindfold, a symbol that echoes across time from depictions of justice to allegories of ignorance. This motif appears here, perhaps, not as a representation of impartiality but as a critique of societal blindness to gender discrimination. Consider, too, the prominent heart rendered in a cool blue—a stark contrast to the warm red tones of the body. The heart, often a symbol of love and vitality, is here depicted as cold, suggesting emotional detachment or the alienation experienced in the face of discrimination. We see similar uses of this powerful symbol across centuries in art and life. This image invites us to consider how symbols and iconography are adapted and reinterpreted across different cultural contexts. It is a visual echo reflecting the past and resonating with contemporary concerns about gender equality.
