Kristina 18

»Kristina 18 is a story about the end of an important chapter, a time that once seemed endless but now exists only in fragments of memory. 18 is more than just a number. It's the age when I first picked up a camera, capturing the world around me, and it's also the day I was born. This book tells the story of the people and places that shaped my life in Ukraine, of a world that once felt unchanging. Some places lose their meaning without the people who once filled them, while some faces remain vivid even when time has erased the surroundings. This book is a quiet farewell to a time that has now slipped away. It's not just about what was, but about the echoes that stay with us - feelings, moments, and absences that shape who we become. This is an attempt to return to where it all began before letting go. Dedicated to the friends we've lost.« — Kristina Podobed
