The following project is examination of consequences of war in Ukraine through visual documentation of its impact.

On the frontline war takes a direct shape of explosions and destruction resulting in hundreds of thousands of lost lives and once peaceful villages and cities turned into a rubble. Millions of people were forced to flee their homes while millions are living under constant threat without access to water, gas or electricity. While the smoke in the aftermath of explosion can be seen in the moment, pain and trauma may last for years or lifetimes to come.
