My journey through the recently occupied Kyiv region began with the intention of seeing for yourself these once light-hearted places, now wounded and destroyed. I was meeting people who stayed under the occupation. It’s been a tough and heartbreaking experience to hear the stories from people directly. While working on the series, I try to balance my narrative between the traces of horror, never-ending uncertainty, and the hope for a future.
For 2022 I was receiving a grant from EEP Berlin gallery to keep on working on the series further.
