Ukrainian Tribe | Shadows of Water by Kira Lebedeva

Shadows of Water

This project was born in a difficult time.
Women came together from all over Ukraine — each carrying her own story, her strength, her silence within. Just before we met, the country was under heavy attacks… Yet nothing stopped us.

We gathered to create “Shadows of Water” — a space of unity, support, and feminine presence.
We wanted to show that the strength of a woman is not in being alone, but in the circle —
in knowing that there’s always another woman beside you who can hold your emotions, your waves, your ocean.

This project is about acceptance.
About the truth that we are all different — and each one of us matters.
That even after the storm, the water remains water — soft, flowing, alive.

I am deeply grateful to every woman who came, who stood, who danced and breathed together with us.
We are Ukrainian women, and in our unity lies our power, tenderness, and the endless beauty of movement.
