About Gathering Darkness
Russia declared war on Ukraine, a peaceful nation, on February 24, 2022. At the first sound of bombings, the life of every Ukrainian resident and citizen changed in an instant, among them photographer Alexander Glyadyelov. Since that first day, Glyadyelov has photographed the constant tensions that have defined everyday life in the warzone: quietude and chaos, life and death, home and hell.
