This photograph was taken in September 2022 in one of Lviv’s bomb shelters during an air raid. My attention was drawn to a couple sitting across from me; they were having an emotional conversation, and then there was silence. The man's eyes filled with tears, and he began nervously fidgeting with his sneaker. Perhaps she told him she wanted to leave Ukraine and leave him behind, or maybe it was something else—we will never know for sure. The photo was taken with a Nikon D850 + Nikkor 24-120
