Three weeks ago, Oksana Drachkovoska and Vera Lytovchenko were professionally pursuing their passions — Oksana illustrating books, and Vera teaching and performing with her violin. Today, they're using their crafts to tell the story of Ukraine's war.
Oksana Drachkovska's illustrations were typically simple and vibrant intersections of nature and society that incorporated the cooling colors of the ocean, the warming hues of a loving home and the golden shades of fall. They told the beautiful story of everyday life in Ukraine. But that was before the war began.
"It's like my voice to the war to talk about what's happening now in Ukraine," the 34-year-old illustrator told CBS News."...Pictures sometimes send a very strong message to people." "Everything's changing," she said."It's like all my life is sand on the hands and I can't control it." Since she can't physically be on the ground in Ukraine to help, she is now selling her art and sending that money to volunteers in Ukraine to help get food and medicine for civilians. So far, she said she's been able to send 900 euros.
In each performance, she wears a beautiful gown — as she would if she were to perform in a theater — and the cellar's dim lighting casts a dark shadow on the concrete wall behind her.
