“Love her in love, in labour, and in fight, As if she were a song at heaven’s portal… Love her with all your heart and all your might, And with her glory we shall be immortal.” – From the poem Love Ukraine by Volodymyr Sosiura (1944)
Sisters, best friends, neighbours? Young Ukrainian women photographed some 100 years ago. Graceful costumes, beautiful jewellery, dignified people. Heritage carried on in souls.
1938, a young soldier photographed in a photo studio with, likely, his sisters or maybe his sister and fiancee. What is the story of this photo? Is he being enlisted now to go to war? Is he back on holiday or perhaps he has just returned from war? The two ladies seem to be proud of the young man. He has protected their country, he is the pride of the family.
