"When Our Paths Cross" is the fourth part of my project on Ukraine, focusing on encounters with people and places since 2024. Through random, spontaneous interactions, I sought to capture moments that evoke emotion and inspiration. The series reflects Ukrainian society through portraits of soldiers, children, and mothers affected by war. It questions the impact of conflict on everyday lives and explores the hopes and struggles of those whose lives have been forever altered by the war. This work offers a personal reflection on Ukraine’s resilience.
