Photo|Frome – Evgeniya Strygina

Evgeniya Strygina is a London-based artist who specialises in landscape and architecture photography as she captures urban and natural environments to highlight their relation to and their autonomy from human beings. However, in ‘Home from Home’, Evgeniya tells the stories of people who were forced to leave their homes when the war in Ukraine began in February 2022. The stories presented in the project demonstrate the complexity and reveal the personal toll of geopolitical tensions, as families are torn apart and lives are uprooted – both for Ukrainians and Russians. Many ended up in the UK. Whether it is temporary or permanent is uncertain, but they are all trying to make this place their new home.
