On February 24, 2022, the world witnessed the start of a conflict that would change the recent history of Europe: Russia's invasion of Ukraine. What began with a series of bombings and attacks on key cities soon escalated into a full-scale war, forcing millions of people to flee their homes and leaving a profound imprint on global geopolitics.
The images here capture one of the most human aspects of the conflict: the exodus of Ukrainian refugees who, with few belongings and great uncertainty, cross the border into Romania in search of a new life. They are portraits of pain and loss, but also of hope and resilience in the midst of adversity.
