Stefaniia Bodnia is a Ukrainian-born artist and graphic designer based in The Hague. Her research-based work manifests as visual poetry and essayism and is realised through publications, installations and printmaking. Coming from a graphic design background, she works extensively with the materiality of graphics, using it as a tool to construct narratives that address history, society and personal experience. Her artistic exploration revolves around projects that have a sense of urgency, underlined by connections, origins and experiences informed by her background.
