My name starts with A. (One of Pixel Art Comics)

This work was created specifically for the Tyumen collection of comics "Not to Blame", in 2020, created by the comic book publishing house "Space Cow Press" and the independent bookstore "Никто не спит". "Не виновата", or "Not to Blame" is an international charity DIY-campaign against domestic violence. It is held annually on March 8.

The story is based on real events. At first, it was quite difficult for me to choose one of the stories from the suggested ones since each of the stories sent goosebumps through my body. The chosen story gave a very strong response inside. And eventually, I began to draw, but not immediately, but working out what could be told by creating pages. As a result, the moth was chosen as the leitmotif, still intact on the first page, as a symbol of purity and a virgin soul, and then, literally, crushed. It is difficult to express your emotions, because of the internal pain caused by this story. The comic was drawn in life restrictions, which was imposed on the format itself... each page has a connection with the next one, and the most recent one overlaps with the first one, and this, in my understanding, is the girl's obsession with this trauma.
