Editorial Illustrations – DOXA Journal
“BPD Can’t Be Treated, and You Shouldn’t Date People With It?”
This project features a cover illustration and two supporting images created for an article in DOXA, an independent Russian online magazine. The article aims to debunk common myths about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) — including the harmful assumptions that it’s untreatable or that people with BPD can’t build relationships.
I created the illustrations in Procreate, working in my own expressive style. The visual language reflects emotional tension, fragility, and inner complexity — supporting the article’s goal of offering a more compassionate and honest perspective.
Each illustration is hand-drawn with a focus on symbolism and mood, balancing softness with sharp emotional undertones.
