Over the past year, more than 140,000 residential buildings in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed. As Ukraine becomes a land of missing homes, neighbors like Georgia are filled with families fleeing the frontlines of eastern Ukraine. By documenting the safe spaces Ukrainian refugees have found or made for themselves in Tbilisi, this project tenderly explores the often invisible psychological and emotional experience of Ukrainian families who have arrived in Georgia, as they wrestle with memories of what they witnessed and what they left behind.
