Photographic stories of structure, silence, aftermath, and human trace.
Three photographic sequences exploring structure, silence, aftermath, and human trace.
What people and events leave behind.
The road took me from Lviv to Kyiv to Kharkiv. From the cafés in Lviv to a place, close enough to the front line to hear shelling in the distance.
I decided to call this series 'A Portrait of Survival'. I saw a basketball court in front of a destroyed school building; women walking past ruins; bullet holes in the walls of a residential building. This represents the spirit in all of us.
дорога привела мене зі Львова до Києва, а потім до Харкова. Від львівських кав’ярень до місця, розташованого настільки близько до лінії фронту, що вдалині було чутно обстріл.
Я вирішив назвати цю серію «Ціною життя». Я бачив баскетбольний майданчик перед зруйнованою школою; жінок, що йшли повз руїни; сліди від куль на стінах житлового будинку. Це втілює дух, який живе в кожному з нас.
Unscripted moments in life.
Order, tension and rhythm in the urban world.
