Shot on 35mm in Kyiv, in the hours after strikes.Glass drifted on the pavement like snow, swept by men in municipal vests. A pensioner descending steps with her shopping past a facade with no windows left. Two men at a bus stop, waiting for a bus. The city photographed through the frames that failed to hold. Film is a slow medium for a fast war: you can't check, you wait for a lab in a city that may lose power. The lag is the point — the frames arrive already historical.
