My work with fresh flowers was in progress when russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022. I couldn’t continue my work and my equipment was packed just in case of possible evacuation. The flower was dying because I lost the moment. Then I realized that it was perfect to capture it besides the situation outside. I unpacked my camera, did quick shots, and packed my equipment back on 28 February 2022.
