Foggy Gray Primrose

Greetings. I myself am from Ukraine; for a conscious period of my life, I lived in St. Petersburg and Moscow, grew up there as a professional and as a person. At the end of 2021, I returned to my homeland with a creative project which I planned to implement at an international level. But it so happened that at the moment of "testing out" the project, my mom came into my room and talked about the beginning of the war; a month later, my mom passed away, the war continues. Here I am in Ukraine, in a frontline city, photographing the city and its life, and I try every day to find motivation to wake up and keep doing something... First thing, of course, I read Meduza, and I want to wake up one day, open Meduza, and read that Putin died or Zelensky disappeared, and I would go drink coffee in a good mood :) I cannot write beautifully about the intricacies of what is happening around, therefore, I only photograph. Thanks.

You can choose any amount and any donation frequency. We’ll be especially grateful if you decide to support Meduza monthly.
