This article integrates arts-based research and critical self-reflective questions through embodied questions of having lived in Ukraine and Kazakhstan at the time the war broke out in 2022: What was it like to have left Kiev with a family amid the bombing with family? How has the adjustment unfolded? How can life be meaningful today, if at all? Through a collaborative artistic interpretation of a co-produced work, we highlight the unsaid feelings and thoughts, emphasizing a decolonial response to strife, pain, trauma, and war to allow for a healing inquiry of hope through thoughtful, caring spaces to learn and deeply feel the human experience.
