Displaced and fled

AI and the Ukrainian refugee story

At a time when it is difficult to face reality, art offers a window into the human experience.

Recently, with a carefully curated text prompt and an AI art generator, I have created poignant illustrations that tell the story of the Ukrainian refugees in Europe.

Gloom

The digital artworks are steeped in a deep gloom. They capture the desolation and loss these people have felt leaving their homeland behind.

The figures in the illustrations seem lost in a sea of uncertainty, symbolizing the spiritual distress of millions.

Blue and yellow

Striking are the colors yellow and blue, the colors of the Ukrainian flag, in the clothing of the AI-generated refugees.

This choice is conscious: it serves as a visual representation of the hope for peace and the desire for independence and freedom.

Art as a bridge to understanding

These AI-generated works, which you will find below, challenge us to think more deeply about the current situation in Ukraine and its impact on the individual. It forces us, almost uncomfortably, to reflect on our shared humanity, and the fragility of our existence.

Conclusion

Creativity offers a way to express the unspeakable and in this case it helps us get a glimpse of the dire situation of the Ukrainian refugees. Through the medium of AI, this elusive reality is translated into something concrete and poignant.
