Looking For A Way

Each piece of the project is a photo portrait of a Ukrainian woman. They represent how fate brought women from all over the country together, pushing them to migrate. Each Ukrainian region felt the aggression of the enemy, and our citizens were forcibly evacuated from them. In the future, each migrant chose his own path. Artists of different ages, genders, and artistic techniques joined the project. Everyone chose one of the pictures and added it at their own discretion. Their different creative ideas are like the different fates of our migrant women. Everyone has their own future!
