For more than 1000 days, since the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24th, 2022, I have been sharing work from a more peaceful time, from before the full-scale war, as a small daily reminder and a longing for that life. This book shows a selection of those images, bringing in small fragments of stories - my attempt as a photographer, husband and father to preserve our memories.

The book begins in 2018 and ends with a photograph made in March 2022, 18 days after the full scale invasion.

It’s a book about the desire for a more peaceful time yes, but it’s also a book about war, life, travel, beauty, fear, and perhaps above all, love.
