According to legends, red poppies bloom at the places of fierce battles, where the blood of warriors was spilled. My photo project is dedicated to unbreakable Ukrainian soldiers. On the battlefields in Ukraine, poppies turned black from fire and ash. Their tender petals were cruelly scorched by the fire of war, but I believe they did not perish. Instead, they have changed their structure and form and continue to exist. Each black flower inspires us with its shape and reminds us of the firmness and steadfastness of Ukrainian heroes.
Halyna Vitiuk, a trendy photographer from Odesa, Ukraine, captures juicy and colorful photos filled with creativity, positivity, and happiness. Her career began in the IT and online sales world, but tragic events shifted her focus to exploring these themes in her work.
Amidst the war in Ukraine, Halyna sought refuge in a foreign country, experiencing the loss of familiarity. Guided by the wisdom "Focus on good thoughts and all will be good," she aims to share her creativity, support others, and create art projects that celebrate the goodness and hopefulness of the world.
