I often ask myself what lies behind those traces
and scars that multiply over time and approach the front line.
What is the story behind each destroyed car, each broken tree,
or pierced billboards and road signs?
The road is a witness to what has happened and is
happening in our country. It speaks to me through its
landscapes, its ruins. This road pains me, but despite
the pain, the road is always a path that will lead somewhere –
to oneself, to the truth, to the reality in which we live.
All the photographs were taken on 30-year-old film, damaged, unpredictable, and diverse.
I developed and scanned the images myself, which allowed me to connect deeply with
my emotions, delve into them, and understand them.
