The series was taken in one of the dead villages in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, which was under Russian occupation for half a year in 2022. There is not a single surviving house in this village. There are still numerous boxes and casings from Russian tank shells nearby. On the boxes from tank shells, information about contracts between russian manufacturers and customers of these shells has been preserved. And only nature contrasts with the dead houses. Near each house, flowers bloom that survived the russian occupation.

I live in Kyiv.
