About the project

Iron Curtain

A new Iron Curtain cuts through Europe—no longer made of concrete, but of fear, silence, and closed borders. This series follows a visual journey along the edge of the European Union: from Estonia to Ukraine, through forests, ghost towns, and military zones. It explores what it means to live next to Russia today—at a time of geopolitical rupture. The images capture the traces of past and present tensions, and the quiet lives of people who remain invisible on the map.
