Maxim Dondyuk is a Ukrainian born visual artist working in the field of documentary photography. He has documented the War in Ukraine and devastating impacts on the people, land, and buildings. Paul Swanson curated this online exhibit and worked closely with Maxim to tell the story of both the destruction in Ukraine and the resistance of a community. There are three themes that have emerged from Maxim’s photographs – the destruction of land and buildings, the celebration of life, and the human toll the conflict in Ukraine has taken. This exhibit seeks to foster empathy and understanding by allowing viewers to connect with the crisis in Ukraine. Through the lens of compassion, we hope to inspire a deeper awareness of the human cost of war and the urgent need for solidarity. The exhibit is a call to action, urging us to reflect, empathize, and unite in our collective pursuit for peace.
