Ukraine 2024

In early 2024, Laurin travelled through Ukraine to document how life continues in the shadow of a long war. This series brings together streets, interiors, and fragile moments of stillness, tracing how resilience, exhaustion, and hope coexist in the same frame. It is not a complete story of a country at war, but a personal encounter with those living inside it.
