Blurb about Pavel Wolberg

Pavel Wolberg, is a Russian photographer born in 1966. In particular, this blurb will focus on his Barricades project based on conflict in both Ukrainian-Russian aspect and Palestinian- Israeli aspect. in specific , i chose a picture from his work that was taken in the Ukraine, where women were dressed as angels, from the back of them just viewing their toy wings,  in front of a barrier of Russian riot police holding up metal shields. This photograph  is so raw and brutal based on this civilian shots as these people are doing nothing , they have no weapons , they’re just walking in the Maiden Square of Kiev and yet they are being treated like a threat. Wolberg is focusing mainly on how these versions of operation are causing mass destruction and tragedy within a country. his work reflects how humans can lose their identity and individuality bad on conflict an yet they may not have done nothing to feed this conflict except be a insignificant fish  in a sea of political sharks.
