This project was created during the eleven months of 2022.
One photo – one month of war, one main feeling, one fear, one hope.
It’s idea is simple and clear: there will be always eleven months in this cursed 2022, because it began for me, as it did for millions of Ukrainians, in February.
I take pictures just to survive. One month - one photo. One picture as a reflection of one month of 2022.
Every month is different, but they have one thing in common – pain and fear.
Now they are with me forever - I know that. I have to learn to live with them.
I look at the world through the viewfinder window of my camera. This tiny window is like a protective screen between me and the world, which is much easier to see.
Just taking pictures every day (as much as possible) and sometimes it really makes me feel a little better.
0. Where to start?
This is my self-portrait "before"
The countdown has begun...
1. February. I'm trying to see something in the darkness in order to understand: how is this possible? I still don't have an answer...
2. March. Naked, broken - holding on...
3. April. BUCH...
4. May. Everything that had any meaning before is now just an indistinct image.
5. June. Friends. So far. I'm afraid to forget them, I'm afraid that their images will be erased over time.
6. July. The wind in the leaves, the smells and sounds of summer - everything is fraught with danger. Look at the color of the sky...
7. August. Golden August evening: I hide behind it, but I know that soon the night will again expose my fears.
8. September. Its bright, ripe result. Inhaling the smell of the autumn garden, for a moment, only for a moment, it seems that all this is just a terrible and stupid dream.
9. October. Again loss, parting. Long goodbyes instead of meetings.
10. November. Like us, they will stay here forever...
11. December. We are waiting... We are waiting for good news...
