Description:
© Serhii Korovayny Geographic Place: Ukraine, c. 2022-23. re-used with permission from the photographer solely for this exhibition. The location of the original photo is here: http://www.korovayny.com/ The photo by Serhii Korovayny captures a solemn funeral scene, centered around a woman standing in front of a coffin draped in a Ukrainian flag. The woman, the primary subject of the image, appears to be in her mid-thirties and is visibly distressed. A crowd of people surrounds her, their faces a mix of sorrow and empathy. Among them, another woman, slightly older, stands out; she too is visibly affected by the situation. A man, possibly in his mid-forties, and a younger woman in her early twenties can be seen in the crowd as well. They all seem to be part of an indoor gathering, possibly a funeral or a memorial service, judging from the presence of the coffin.
