Layers of War

In the photo series “Layers of War” I tried to express in visual language and using various techniques the emotions that I in particular and Ukrainians in general experience due to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine. This is an attempt to convey through photographic art the horror of loss and destruction that my people are now going through. The destroyed buildings of my city, the loss of material things. And at the same time preserving the identity of my people, who in this difficult time turn to national poetry, folk songs that have been passed down from generation to generation.
