Sayaka is focused on her work, surrounded by art supplies and her kokeshi dolls, which sit arranged on the table in front of her. The scene is peaceful, capturing her dedication to her craft. During my conversation with her at her apartment in Sumy, Ukraine on Tuesday, Aug 20, 2024, she said, "I studied design, art, and space design... I have always been interested in Russia, but I ended up in Ukraine, the neighboring country." (VX Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
