This art project was an illustration challenge dedicated to the most profound lyrics of Boris Pasternak, the favorite poet of mine. The goal was to transform his poetic imagery into striking visual metaphors, capturing the depth and emotion of each verse through graphical embodiment.
I have explored themes of love, nature, and existential reflection, translating Pasternak’s words into powerful, thought-provoking illustrations. I strived to make a reader and an observer not just to read a text of the verse and turn a page for a next one, but to slow down or stop and think about it once more, looking for their own feelings revealed by the verse and comparing their thoughts with mine.
My visual language is built on dramatic contrast of black and white, sharpening the impression and focusing the attention on the crucial.
