The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2017
When the war is over
Two civilizations collapse in the heart of Europe and now for the third year this collapse is called war in Ukraine. Ukraine now is between the upper and the nether millstone - on one side there are Western democratic countries and on the other there is the totalitarian Russia with its territorial claims. But all wars end eventually. The main objective of this project is to remind people about the necessity to point out the need to overcome the war and define what will be after it has ended. Will the 'sun shine' on one's head, will it be possible to stop and then move on, because history has shown that everything is relative.
