NEWLY ARRIVED UKRAINIAN REFUGEE FAMILY

My friend Yana (standing next to her mother) immigrated to the United States long before the current conflict began. During the summer of 2022, the war caused her family to risk a dangerous road trip through many Russian checkpoints before arriving in Poland and finally to Yana's home in Madison Wisconsin. At Yana's urging, the group travelled to my home in Milwaukee for a group portrait a few weeks after their arrival.
