Cheney Orr

Orr spent six weeks traveling across Ukraine capturing Polaroid portraits. He also asked participants to share their individual thoughts, experiences and emotions during the war and included written and audio recordings detailing participants’ memories with each photo.

Translation: “On February 24 at 5 a.m. the war began. On March 15, my house was destroyed. March 23 was the last time I saw my daughter and my grandchildren. Tiolkima, Elena, Yaroslav and Nikita. Lenochka I tried to call you but the phone is offline. I will try to get to the western part of Ukraine.

As part of NFT’s release event, you can join the Vault by CNN team at the Superchief gallery in New York for a pop-up exhibition, which will feature additional work by Orr, on June 23 from 5 p.m. 7 p.m. If you are interested in participating, you can RSVP here.
