‘Ukraine Forever’ is a rapid‑response AR filter created to help people show solidarity with Ukraine in the early days of the invasion.
It places an opaque Ukrainian flag and the national trident on the user’s cheeks—simple, accessible and designed for fast global use across TikTok and Instagram. The effect gained strong traction, generating over 153 million views, 452k posts and 1.7 million likes to date.
One of several very different AR effects I’ve created as part of my experimentation with filters and expressive digital tools.
