The "No More" series was a collaborative social poster project created during 2022, rooted in the agonizing question facing Ukrainians: "How much more destruction, loss, and pain must we endure?" The challenge was not commercial, but humanitarian and expressive: to translate the raw, collective experience of a nation fighting for its survival—its pain, unity, and unbreakable will—into a concise, globally understandable visual language for social media.The design needed to serve as both a reflection of the tragedies affecting specific cities and a powerful affirmation of Ukrainian strength and desire for freedom.
The primary goal was to create content that was emotionally impactful, respectfully captured the gravity of the situation, and clearly communicated the unified national message: "No More!" to the ongoing brutal invasion.
My approach was a close collaboration with photographer Marina Piatkowska to transform raw emotion and high-impact photography into a viral, unified visual statement of resistance.
These posters are the reflection of the tragedies of our cities and people, but also — their strength and will. Each poster is about a separate city that has suffered russian attacks and devastation.The main idea of the project is to convey the battle of Ukrainians for their country, their unity, their love and their freedom. Color helps highlight the Ukrainian flag and identity, the monochrome design helps focus on the raw emotional journey of the country.
We used a core monochrome design to emphasize the raw gravity of the tragedy. This was strategically contrasted with the bold use of Ukrainian national colors (Blue and Yellow), which acted as powerful symbols of defiance and resilience.
It’s hard to put into words the full spectrum of people’s feelings during war. The poster’s message is clear: No More! Here are only feelings with Ukrainian colors - different feelings that connect and intersect.
