The unique last flag with the signatures of the soldiers of the “Azov Kharkiv” SOF detachment, which participated in the liberation of the occupied territories of Ukraine. Now the detachment is part of the 97th OMB, so there will be no other such flag.

Under this banner, our unit defended Ukraine from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion until recently joining the 97th Separate Mechanized Brigade.
That is why it is unique, and besides, it is the last!

Work from the series, where the object of the image is the internal state. Through form, pose, colors, I record a set of elusive moments that create a sense of state at a certain time and in certain circumstances. Decorative “crosses” in the foreground are a symbol taken from Ukrainian embroidery. After all, embroidery is always an amulet. It’s about the feeling of protecting one’s inner identity even in conditions of absolute insecurity
