The «Cold» project was created in 2018 in the frontline territory of the Donbas. This visual metaphor is an attempt to capture the visual markers that narrate the frozen conflict in the Donbas. It reflects the lifelessness of the landscape, the ruined cities that stand still in waiting for life. But behind these images lie human stories filled with fear and hope.

The story of a survivor from Auschwitz became my starting point. An act of warming another showed that even in the conditions of absolute cold, humanity can prevail. Today, the Donbas is once again engulfed in the flames of war.
