It has been 25 days since my home Ukraine with all my family and most of my friends was attacked by Russia. I barely lived during these 25 days, being totally paralysed for the first week, going through most of the known stages of grief from denial, to anger and to depression as the days went by. What made things worse was that I felt totally helpless. It took me time to understand what I could do, and hopefully it will help me to avoid going through all the same stages over and over.
During these 25 days I could not continue my life on Instagram posting photos from another life. I know that all of you are here because you probably liked those photos. I realise I was testing your patience not posting anything except our cries for help and proofs of Russia’s atrocities. Since shooting new content will be challenging for a while, I will start a new blue and yellow period of my Instagram life. I will be posting only photos with the national colours of Ukraine until the end of this terrible war.
I made this shot yesterday with an idea that freedom and victory are so close that I could nearly touch them…
