Kakhovka dam 6/06/2023

This series of photographs is a way to convey the horror of the events taking place with the help of art installations from black-used engine oil.
The series was created during the first days after the tragedy at the Kakhovka dam, which has been under occupation since the first day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
An ecological catastrophe, the scale of the consequences we can't know today, and the whole world is unconscious.
Life is the greatest value - both humans and the entire planet, every blade of grass on our earth.
