"In Ukraine, Pierre Toutain-Dorbec has once again picked up his camera to document the ongoing war. His photographic account is likely to become a significant part of the collective memory of the Russian invasion and its aftermath for civilians. The images capture the people who will have to endure the consequences of war for many years to come, potentially leading to unforeseeable changes in their lives. Despite being victims, the people portrayed are also survivors who demonstrate remarkable resilience and humanity in the face of death and destruction. They seek solace in music, art, and their relationships with family, neighbors, and even strangers. Through these images, we see that life during war is not solely about hardships, but also includes moments of joy and celebration such as marriages, births, and work. Toutain-Dorbec's photographs offer a message of hope and encourage us to pause and reflect on the human experiences depicted on each page."
