Łasačka bosačka is Ula Karotki's book. It is about collective practices of help and poetry which is a refusal of admiration and preservation of Belarusian healing spells.
bosačka
Brief
Develop a cohesive visual concept and style for a book about Belarusian traditions of collective healing practices. Create original illustrations to enhance the narrative and designed the book layout, seamlessly integrating text and imagery for an engaging reading experience.
Concept development
To represent collective practices, I used moss for inspiration. Mosses usually form dense clusters in shaded areas. This principle of forming represents collectivism. The practices described in the book are passed down from generation to generation of the same family. These spells can only be transmitted orally, which makes the transmission process fragile. That's why I used the stencil technique. Since all images in this technique have inaccurate shapes and contours.
Concept development
I imitated a child's handwriting in headings to support the idea presented in the text that the author played with the family heirloom as a child.
