Shortly after the Russians invaded Ukraine in February 2022, art teacher Olena Tsyhipa’s husband Serhiy, aged 63, was arrested by soldiers. She has not seen him since. Olena has lived with hope and struggle for nearly three years as she tries to arrange the release of her husband. Her exhibition Please, Free the Birds has been shown in Germany, France and Switzerland with the aim of raising awareness of the thousands of Ukrainian civilians being held in captivity.
