(A)typical Day

(A)typical day is an interactive comic in which the players can experience a day of a typical family from Odesa in October 2022.

The motives and colors show an almost surrealistic environment. People try to continue to lead a completely normal life while the country is in a state of war and catastrophe.

Coming from Odesa in Ukraine myself, the project is very personal to me. In October 2022 I was in Odesa and the comic was created from my personal experience and perception of the situation.

With my Project, I want to get attention to the problems like blackouts, no opportunity for children to get appropriate education, and depressive and hopeless everyday lives of people and also hint at topics like unemployment. For those people, this state of living became normal in a grotesque way.
