The Silent Women's Order

The portrait of a Ukrainian woman more often defines what she is silent about than what she speaks about. But without the experience of this silence, there would be no voice that sounds in this collection. A voice that defends the right to speak honestly about acute grief, generational traumas, stereotypes and archetypes, roots in burning soil, the courage of love, and the disappointment of emptiness behind masks. Ignoring objections in excessive frankness or thorniness, in the abyss and darkness. Because that's the only way they remain themselves, they also embody the experience of hundreds of still speechless sisters.

Paintings by Kateryna Kosyanenko are used in the artwork and on the cover.
