I am a junior at Mentor High School, an international student from Ukraine who is passionate about capturing moments through both drawing and photography. Art and writing are my ways of expressing the deeper stories I want to share. I write about the challenges foreign students face and the obstacles of adapting to life in a new country, as well as about life during wartime in Ukraine. Through my stories, I aim to convey the reality of these experiences, hoping to bring understanding and empathy to others.
