Fragile as glass is the title of Sitara Thalia Ambrosio's photo reportage. In it, the photographer focuses on queer people in Ukraine. A particularly vulnerable group. Their difficult situation is exacerbated by war, Russia's homophobic and anti-trans propaganda and the persecution of queer activists.

Sitara has been traveling to Ukraine for over a year to document the reality of life for various queer people like Igor. The 20-year-old lived with his boyfriend Andrew in Kiyv, but had to flee to Lviv. He shaped the title of the reportage:

»I feel unstable. Everything that is happening in the world at the moment shows that the world is as fragile as glass. These days, with war raging in my country, I’m afraid of everything.«
