Rather than a journalistic angle typically taking over, this time a regular person is at the core of relevant events. Photos from trips to Georgia, Ukraine, Russia and Moldova convey the daily routine in destinations linked by past or present conflicts and tense political affairs.

A visual story guides through a period of war, portraying daily rituals and human connections as means to create a certain sense of security. The images of post-conflict zones demostrate the clear mismatch between idealising the end of war, waiting for it and then the actual reality of it resulting in even more pressure and complications.
