Untitled 2022

Alevtyna Kakhidze’s 2022 untitled artwork, depicts a crudely drawn map of Eastern Europe. The artist utilizes a simple black marker to outline the borders of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Kazakhstan. The map features a black and white figure of a predatory animal, with red markings appearing to represent blood splatters. The image serves as a powerful commentary on the ongoing war in Ukraine, highlighting the devastating consequences of the conflict and symbolizing the aggressor’s violence against the Ukrainian people.
