Observations on hospitality..... - a photo on Flickriver

            Photo in picture taken by Irina Shkoda.

In April 2022, Irina Shkoda left Ukraine for France, as a refugee. She entered a culture that was entirely foreign to her, which required her to adopt a new country, to speak a new language , to submit to new rules, to lose part of herself in order to be accepted.

This photo is part of her project to explore her personal experience of hospitality both given and received…..

Her photo shown received second place in the professional/Creative section of the Sony World photography Awards. Irina, for what it’s worth I would have placed you first!

Thanks for visiting…..
