"I became an internally displaced person from Donbas in 2014, on my 18th birthday. It was probably some kind of initiation rite… I made a comic about this in 2022. The collection also includes a story about Sviatohirsk — a city of nostalgia for me: there, I tell my younger sister and my Scottish stepfather good stories about Donbas. I would go to Sviatohirsk every year. Donbas, for me, is hope, memory, and childhood. And such things stay in the heart forever."
