Unhealed Wounds is a VR documentary I directed that explores the environmental impact of the Russian war against Ukraine. Through immersive storytelling, this project takes you on a journey across five regions — Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv — revealing how war doesn’t just devastate lives but also leaves lasting scars on nature.

Exhibition in Finland
This project was featured in the Trees, Stones, Reeds exhibition at Muijala Art Space, an art space and artist residency located in Reila, Southwest Finland, held in the summer of 2024. It was showcased alongside other compelling works that discover our connection with nature.
The exhibition emphasized themes of environmental interaction, urgency, and reflection, presenting pieces that ranged from tranquil portrayals of natural elements to unflinching explorations of ecological crises.
