Seven tears

Seven tears 1992

1

Shot at a children’s cemetery seven years after Chornobyl. The author is delicately showing human grief from the point of view of not an outside observer trying to shoot reportage but a parent like his heroes. The death of an adult is a tragedy, while child’s death is a catastrophe. As long as such cemeteries exist, this pain will exist, too.
