These pictures tell the story of people's lives in the small village of Popivka in Ukraine. From 2011 until 2016, I traveled to the village of Popivka almost every year to follow the lives of the people there with my camera. Popivka is a village in the east of Ukraine's Poltava oblast with around 3,200 inhabitants.
