The series came to mind not immediately, but through many trials. I seem to give a feeling to these concrete blocks, which are now placed all over the country. In a way, they are
a metaphor for the nervous system of
a fairly resilient person: unbreakable,
but experiencing a range of negative,
sorrowful feelings.

This illustration was created for the exhibition When everything matters, organized by Pictoric. In this work, I wanted to show the deceptive carelessness of Ukrainian nature where, in fact, all living things are now in danger. It is also a metaphor for peace in captivity of war.

The artwork tells the story of one day in the life in Ukraine during the full-scale war. Hope, fatigue, contemplation of nature, and ways to cope with stress. However, some changes that have occurred in each individual and in the world as a whole are irreversible. The metaphor for this is an intelligence drone, which, like a leading bird, flies ahead of the flock of birds and guides it forward. The war has become so integrated into our lives that it could already become a routine.

It was done while thinking about how art, beauty, and aesthetics can be a place to escape from reality.

Illustration depict how surreal war feels in cities like Kyiv, where people have to find a way to balance “normal” aspects of their life and frightening war reality.

When one suffers from depression locked in the home, there are not many witnesses of the fight except for everyday objects surrounding. I decided to create an illustrated crockery set as a witness of my mental health struggles. I chose to work with ceramics as tempered yet fragile media, perfectly reflecting the subject.

The poster tells about the importance of language for Ukrainians. It shows that if you tell your child about your country from an early age, teach them about its traditions and culture, they will grow up to be a conscious citizen of their country.

The visual style of the 52nd Molodist Film Festival is based on the relentless struggle for truth and against fakes.

The light piercing through the chroma key (a tool for manipulating reality) can be seen as a symbolic victory over deception, illuminating the commitment to truth.

This creative solution aligns with the festival’s mission—to showcase emerging auteur films, celebrating raw talent over technical prowess.

SUNNY BUNNY, a standalone LGBTQ+ film festival in Ukraine, got its visual identity.

With these photographs, the Hexagon reduced the distance between society and the LGBTQ+ community, showing they are no different and deserve equal rights (this problem became more acute during the war).

With the logo, designers created a system of symbols that works with the festival’s central theme—visibility. And leave a lasting mark on the international queer film festival scene by its graphic quality.

The creative solution for the “Molodist” Film Festival aimed to capture the “spirit of the times” by avoiding obvious imagery related to war and crisis. It utilized an abstract sculpture set against a pattern—representing an absence of background in digital images.

The abstract figure represents cultural processes that win uncertainty—highlighting that culture would persist despite any circumstances.

The creation of the graphic style of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine was a very important part of the development of Ukrainian identity and the return of its history. In 2018, the Ukrainian Church returned under the omophorion of the Patriarchate of Constantinople after being occupied by Moscow for more than 300 years. A general design was created, which includes: signs, crosses, ornaments, diocesan logos and fonts at the intersection of Ukrainian and Greek traditions of sacred design.

A project was initiated to incorporate Ukraine into the digital lexicon by designing emojis featuring the most renowned images of Ukraine’s traditional culture.

The creators submitted these emojis to the Unicode committee, believing that Ukraine’s fight for independence has been a significant event in world history and should be represented even in basic elements like emojis. These images are a vivid part of our identity, which aggressors aim to mock and even strip away from us.

The Kyiv-Mohyla Academy hosted its second TEDx conference in 2021. To give the event a fresh look, Hexagon created a new visual identity that stayed true to TED’s global brand while incorporating its style.

The conference theme was “ambiguity,” which was creatively represented through the idea of removing graffiti.

This distinct visual identity helped set the event apart from TED’s past conferences and allowed for more creative expression through shapes and designs.

Design for Opera “Vyshyvanyi. Der König der Ukraine” by Alla Zagaykevych with the libretto by Serhij Zhadan took place in Vienna as part of the UStream Fest festival. The design uses the Wilhelm font, at the junction of Ukrainian avant-garde and Austro-Hungarian modernism.
The premiere of the opera took place in October 2021 in Kharkiv and became the most anticipated and most discussed event in domestic academic music.

Together with friends from Design for Ukraine and Yaroslav Belinsky, a style was developed for the presentation of Ukrainian design within the framework of the design week in Zurich at ZURICH DESIGN WEEKS and in Kyiv at KYIV DESIGN WEEK. The combination of font geometry and chaotic strokes emphasizes individuality and national character. Additional font Kyiv Type Sans by Dmytro Rastvortsev.
