«The Bloodlands is the area of Europe that extends from Lithuania in the north to Ukraine in the south, where decades of conflict have caused unimaginable suffering to the local population. Most of these pictures are taken in Berdychiv, a small town about 2 kilometers south of Kiev. Before, I thought The Bloodlands which is purely a geographical area – but I have realized that it is also a state of mind. "
