A raw photographic testimony to the innocence caught in the brutality of war

CHILDREN
They saw the cruel face of war,
looked into its cold, ruthless eyes.

Placed within the No Extra Frames — Ukraine 24/02/2022 — 2025 project, the photograph stands as testimony: the story of Ukraine is written not in abstractions, but in real light, real colors, and real endurance. No embellishment is needed — the truth is already radiant.
The Ukrainian flag in this frame is not just a symbol of statehood, but a living witness to years of endurance. Light breaks through the golden trident, turning it into both shield and beacon. It speaks of a nation carrying its scars into the dawn, unyielding to darkness.
This image reminds us that war is not only destruction — it is also the insistence of identity. Even as landscapes shift and futures tremble, the blue and yellow remain an unbroken horizon. It is a portrait of belonging, stitched into every heartbeat that refuses to surrender.
