Ukraine is a digital art piece that junior Lily Stutzin developed as a project for history. She aimed to show the consequences of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. While making it, she struggled to find something to represent the war’s impact but ultimately decided to sketch a statue. Seeing that statues are a display of someone’s legacy, it was a good fit to depict the consequences war leaves behind. The statue with a hole in its chest and its hands torn off symbolizes the losses brought by the war.
Stutzin used the digital art app Procreate to create Ukraine in two hours. She began her interest in art during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued drawing since then.
