Russian invasion of Ukraine

Photographed across Ukraine during the spring and summer of 2022, this series follows the ways war enters everyday life and reshapes the spaces people move through. Made in Lviv, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and the Donbas, the photographs stay close to ordinary places as they are altered by violence. These photographs were made from the conviction that the experience of civilians in wartime must remain visible.

The work remains at the human scale of the invasion. It’s force emerges not through sweeping views of conflict, but through the specific circumstances in which people continue to live. A damaged building, a family waiting to leave, or a soldier standing in a landscape that still carries the shape of peacetime show how war settles into the physical world. The series is less a document of combat than a record of how civilians continue to live within cities and streets transformed by violence.

The photographs stay with a society under constant assault without reducing that experience to destruction alone. They remain attentive to ordinary life as it is reshaped by fear, uncertainty, and the effort required simply to carry on. The series approaches history not as something distant or abstract, but as something lived through individual lives and through the places that carry the marks of war.
