FLASHBACK

ABOUT

The Flashback portrays one person's memories of her neighborhood before the war. The world is a quiet Ukrainian backyard, carefree neighbors, children playing, sunny weather. This snapshot is interrupted by agonizing flashbacks. The person has survived the Russian occupation in 2022, but many of her neighbors have not. The flashbacks take the person back to the moments when she was the witness to the fates of her neighbors. All the stories pictured there are true and the sources are added.

GOAL

The goal of this project is to sensitize people to what is happening in Ukraine. With the passage of time and the number of cruel reports from Ukraine, people living outside Ukraine become numb. Therefore, this is an attempt to increase attention to the Ukraine-Russia war of those not affected and reduce doubts regarding the support of Ukraine.

Since the goal is to raise awareness about the war in Ukraine, content must have the potential to trigger strong emotions. It is important to evoke emotions by telling true events, not by emotional manipulation. This means not portraying more than it is and was, and not exaggerating. Emotions are important because they are the opposite of indifference. Indifference to the subject of Russian aggression against Ukraine is what the project is trying to resolve.
