Mir / Beibitshilik / Peace
Visual Statement for Solidarity
In the early days of the 2022 I created the project in response to the outbreak of the war between Ukraine and Russia. “Mir / Beibitshilik / Peace” is a personal graphic design project that channels emotional reflection into visual form. Inspired by ordinary urban details — like the decorative iron window grilles found throughout Almaty — the project explores how even utilitarian objects can carry cultural and symbolic meaning.
The project was shared as a gesture of empathy and quiet resistance. #NOTOWAR
“Last night on my way home, I took a photo of yet another window grate (it’s the last image in the carousel). All around the city, you can spot so many variations of them: shaped like sunrays, flowers, and all sorts of patterns. I once even saw one with beautifully interwoven tulips.
What I probably love most about them is their pure graphic quality. It’s amazing that people find ways to express themselves through something as subtle and utilitarian as a window grate.
But the saddest part is that their purpose is protection. From people.
This past week, we’ve all been watching in horror at what’s happening in the world. I’m deeply worried about the lives of everyone currently in danger — and this is one of the small ways I’ve found to show support.
I hope that one day the world becomes a truly safe place, and that we’ll no longer have a need for these grates. Even if some of them are beautiful.”
["Mir" (Russian), "Beibitshilik" (Kazakh) – both meaning "Peace"]
[Window grates are a common architectural feature in post-Soviet countries — both decorative and functional, they’re often used for security on ground-floor windows.]
