Ongoing Projects: Artsakh: Between War and Peace: NKRWP_008A

A man looks around his yard, stunned by the wreckage. The village of Karmir Shuka was the site of some of the most intense battles of the Second Karabakh War. As residents begin to trickle back, they hardly recognize what they are coming home to. The once bustling village is eerily quiet. Barely a building stands undamaged. Electricity, gas and phone lines are down. Pomegranates and persimmons rot on the trees and litter the ground alongside unexploded ordnance and artillery shells.
