"My English doesn't allow me to read without a dictionary. And where I swallowed a book in my native language overnight, here I need months. And this moment of time and space so vividly emphasised how lonely I was in a crowd of people. What's worse, I was alone amongst the books. What am I without them? Without my bow and my books? Without my people?" - from My Bow and My Books by Anastasiia Kovalenko
This project came about over the course of 2022 through the collaboration of Fighting Words, Ukrainian Action in Ireland and the Irish Red Cross.
