In 2026 I decided to make illustrations for the sjort story Without Language\u201d<\/strong> (1895) by Vladimir Korolenko. It is a story about immigrants struggling in a foreign land, that resonated deeply with me due to the current relevance of its subject matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story follows Matvei, a simple Ukrainian peasant who travels to America in search of a better life. However, once he arrives, he cannot speak English\u2014making him effectively \u201cwithout language.\u201d Because of this, he becomes isolated, misunderstood, and often treated as a \u201cstranger\u201d or even a \u201csavage.\u201dAs Matvei tries to survive, he faces confusion, exploitation, and cultural shock. His inability to communicate leads to dangerous misunderstandings, including conflicts with authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
