"Adaptation" and "The Blackouts" are two thought-provoking photo exhibitions by young Ukrainian photographer and filmmaker Lyuba Bobrova, created to draw attention back to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
About
"Adaptation" presents a series of photographs of two Ukrainian families striving to rebuild and adapt their lives to the harsh realities of war. The series captures their previous homes, destroyed by Russian missile strikes, and their new homes, which were constructed through the "Home Again" project. This initiative, sponsored by Citi Ukraine and managed by the charity foundation "Peli can live" in partnership with the Rotary Club "Kyiv Capital," offers a poignant glimpse into resilience and renewal.
"The Blackouts" is a collection of 12 photographs taken in the underground shopping mall during a blackout caused by Russian missile strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The exhibition showcases how Ukrainians continue their daily routines amidst challenging circumstances.
Each photograph was carefully composed and selected to capture the harsh reality of life during wartime, as people strive to find moments of brightness amid the terrible circumstances.
Lyuba Bobrova is a Ukrainian filmmaker and photographer. She is currently studying Content, Media and Film Production at MetFilm School. Alongside her studies, she works and volunteers as a cinematographer, camera operator, and photographer, while also developing her own photo and short film projects.
