I want Japanese people to know what is happening in Ukraine.
There is a woman who has begun an initiative to communicate the local situation while interacting with Japanese families through taking pictures.
Julia Morza, 36, moved from the capital Kieu to Tokyo with her five-year-old daughter in February, before the Russian invasion began, to live with her husband who was sent to Japan.
She is still worried about her parents and her younger brother in Ukraine, and Julia came to see her grandson's face the day before she left for Japan. I take good care of my photos.
I want Japanese people to know what is happening in Ukraine.
Julia, who once worked as a cameraman, was asked by Japanese people to take a picture of her family, and she began to work on communicating the local situation while interacting with her through her photography.
On this day, she was asked by a family of three, a woman in her thirties, a husband in her forties, and a three-year-old son, who live in Tokyo.
I took pictures in the plaza around the Imperial Palace.
Julia said while filming, "While sitting in this beautiful park and talking like this, air raid sirens sounded in Ukraine and many people were killed. A small child was shot when trying to evacuate by car. Some families were even killed. I have no words, "he told the family.
The woman who asked me to shoot said, "This is not allowed. I could feel that it happened to someone close to me, not something that happened in a distant country. I want to find out more about what each person can do. I was talking.
Julia wants her family to be cherished because it's very precious to be able to spend time with her and the family photos she takes are a symbol of peace.
The price of her photo will be donated to a humanitarian organization in Ukraine.
She said Julia, she said, "I started taking family photos with the hope that Japanese people would know about the war by Russia. Deepening mutual understanding through photography will lead to peace and support. I want it, "she said.
