DAWN
Dawn by Youry Bilak is a moving series of 33 photographs that captured the shattered innocence of Ukrainian children from war-torn areas like Bucha and Mariupol. Taken after Russia’s 2022 invasion, each image revealed a haunting yet resilient spirit. Displayed in the form of a large, disassembled photobook with accompanying stories, this powerful exhibit transformed statistics into faces, evoking deep emotional reflection on the impact of war and the fight for freedom. It served as a poignant reminder to Canadians of the value of peace and resilience in the face of oppression.
