Walking through the layers of time in a particular place simply means that, in the end, political sewage is always waiting for you.This photo was taken on the day of a protest, away from the crowd. A year later, it becomes a political statement.

Not quite a classic documentary photo was captured on the day of a protest but away from the crowd. Almost a year later, it has become an illustration of everything that happened and, in its own way, a political statement by the author.

@opancaro He would be great photographer!

@DivineLight330 No, you shouldn't be doing this under any circumstances! It is incredibly insolent, insulting, and degrading.

@JAMortram Is this limited to the UK, or does it include those marginalized by the UK from abroad? I would be interested in that case.

Life in the Frame: A Future in the Shadow of the Past

These images of children playing with replica weapons are more than childhood moments – they reflect the harsh reality of northern Kosovo, where the past never truly ends.

@lily_was96718 @GiorgioSanto9 Они на томе одавно раде заједно, ово је доказано. Кад њима пишеш, као да ништа ниси урадила. теодосије је зато и постављен ту.

@lily_was96718 Па Теодосије, који је ту неканонски, он у томе учествује од самог почетка. без њега то не би могло. Накбољи начин да се ништа не уради, јесте да се њима пријави.

The atmosphere recalls old B&W movies and brings back memories of forgotten places, all suffused with a cinematic aura.
