Stolen Spring

Kyiv, Ukraine

This portrait session with Oleksandra Holivets, a professional actress, was more than just a photoshoot—it was a visual story of resilience, grief, and stolen time. Dedicated to the second year of the invasion, we captured the weight of loss and the quiet strength of those who carry it.

The raw textures of the space, the soft light filtering through the windows, and the stark contrast of her black coat against pale walls echoed the emotions we sought to portray. The delicate tattoo on her skin—fragile yet permanent—became a symbol of all that was taken, yet all that remains.

This emotive portrait session was not about a single moment but a collective memory, a reflection of stolen springs and unwavering hope. A reminder that even in the darkest times, we continue to exist, to create, to remember.
