'Homebound' (2024) is a wordless picture book about a white stork witnessing the loss and destruction caused to the natural and urban environments of Ukraine by russia's full-scale invasion as he's making his way back to his nest in early spring.
This book was created during the illustration MFA program I'm currently pursuing at Rhode Island School of Design. I self-published a small batch of copies and directed 100% of the profit I made from selling them to various fundraisers supporting individuals or brigades in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
‘Homebound’
has also been selected for the sixth edition of The Unpublished Picturebook Showcase in 2024 from over 600 projects from 70 countries.
