The picture book for adults is based on the illustrator’s trip that she took last autumn to Moscow where she was born. It is also a journey into the child within. On her journey, Sann met relatives that she had not seen in decades and visited places that make up her childhood landscape.
Sann already began planning the art project on Russia and Russianism in the autumn of 2021, but as the work progressed the subject garnered additional meanings to which nobody has any answers. With her exhibit Sann participates in the discussion on Russia primarily from the perspective of multiculturalism – as a Finland-Swedish illustrator.
