Behind the veils
This photo was taken at the Ukrainian New West Festival, an event that showcased exhibitions and stories about the five waves of Ukrainian immigration to Canada. The three women wearing veils brought a captivating presence to the scene — their mysterious aura offered a powerful contrast to the joyful energy of the woman in the middle, whose bright smile radiated warmth and openness. Facing another camera, they created a compelling confidence that celebrated both tradition and individuality.
