collateral damages

these photos are a metaphor of thousands of victims. Mariupol and its residents have become real collateral damages of the Russian war in Ukraine.

lost routes

Before 24th of February 2022 I thought it’s photos on coming back to the beloved city. Nowadays it’s about lost routes. There’s no opportunities to come back to Mariupol as well as there’s no way to escape, leave, or evacuate. The roads for food and medicine are cut. The paths where locals had a walks are bombed. The city is heavily breathing. It’s a hostage of war.
