February 2022, Nora Krug connected with 'K.', a Ukrainian journalist and 'D.', a Russian artist and communicated with each of them individually, condensing their answers into a narrative and then created illustrations for each entry. The personal accounts chronicle the first year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in an intimate, epistolary format.
