I created the “Slava Ukraini” poster out of a need to express support for our neighbours. As I followed the development of war in Ukraine, I saw images of ordinary people preparing Molotov cocktails. I couldn’t believe my eyes — it was a shocking sight and, at the same time, a display of great courage on the part of Ukrainian citizens. I figured that a raised hand holding a bottle with a flame would be a clear and encouraging message. In my work, I incorporated the ‘Menorah Grotesk’ font by a Ukrainian designer Ivan Tsanko. I created the poster on the night of February 28 while simultaneously following Ivan’s lives on Instagram. While I was safe at home, he was hiding in a basement, preparing Molotov cocktails. I felt powerless. I hoped that he would wake up the next day, see my poster, and feel the support of another designer — his neighbour.
