I made this series in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2017. It was the end of the winter. And the ice was already quite thin. A bit later these fishermen told me a story, that one day before a group of other fishermen got on an ice floe that broke off and sailed away down the river, so they need to be rescued. When I asked one fisherman why are they risking their lives today considering the bad experience they had already. He told me that this is the easiest way for them to get food and to eat something.
