Elena’s and Tetiana’s story of Nezlamna Ukraine (I)

Elena’s and Tetiana’s story of Nezlamna Ukraine

A mural called “Nezlamna/Unbreakable” is installed on a building in the centre of Vilnius, dedicated to the strength and unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people.

In this episode we are meeting with Tetiana and Elena. Two Ukrainians behind this powerful art. 

The photograph of Tetiana visible on the mural is the creation of photographer Elena Tita, who lives and works in Zaporizhia. The courageous Ukrainian has been documenting the reality of war in the Zaporizhia region for the past years. The new artwork reflects the tragic realities of war, utilizing a photograph taken at the dried-up Kachovka water reservoir, which collapsed after Russia detonated the Kachovka dam. During the photo shoot, Tetiana is dressed in a costume created by Ukrainian designers especially for this mural, which is rich in traditional Ukrainian textile elements.

Two women shares their mind on looking for a courage during non-ordinary life, for a haven during war.

This is a first episode of two parts series of Story of Nezlamna Ukraine.
