“Three coffins from one family... it's not just a picture — it's something that stays with you,” - Kostyantin Liberov about the sorrow of war in Sumy region.
“In Sumy, the earth listens to the sky” - this is how Konstantin Liberov says about the border city. Recently, together with his wife Vlada, he documented Sumy region, a region that since the summer of 2024 has become a new hot spot along the front line. The Liberians record war not as a chronicle of explosions, but as a human being on the verge. In a conversation for the UAPF, Konstantin talks about the silence that holds the pain, the shots that cannot be shot, and why the worst is not the front, but the internal border between “here” and “there”.
