Russian invasion of Ukraine
Photographed across Ukraine during the spring and summer of 2022, this series examines war as a condition that reshapes the spaces and rhythms of everyday life. Working between Lviv, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and the Donbas, the photographs move between sites of damage and displacement, tracing how violence enters ordinary space and changes what daily life looks like and what it demands. These photographs were made in the belief that what happens to civilians in wartime must be seen.
The work is situated at the intersection of political force and physical place, where the enormous scale of the invasion becomes visible not through broad overviews but through detailed observation: a damaged building, a family at a train station, a soldier in a landscape that still holds the shape of peacetime. In this sense, the series is less a document of combat than a record of how civilians continue to live within the cities and streets that violence has transformed.
Russian invasion of Ukraine asks what it means to witness a society under constant assault and to hold in view not only destruction, but the gestures, routines, and small facts of life that persist alongside it. The photographs record the war through particular people, streets, and moments, understanding that history is ultimately experienced at the level of the individual. In doing so, the series bears witness to the people who remain and resist.
