“ Through visual and text -driven storytelling Ukraine Runs through It is a reflection on the impact caused by the recent Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine . In 2014 Justyna Mielnikiewicz began documenting life in Ukraine , using the Dnipro River, which runs the length of Ukraine, as a recurring point of reference. Her work examines the experiences of those living in the aftermath of war. Christoph Wiesner notes that “ Mielnikiewicz constructs the country’s dramatic present via the metaphorical dividing line of the river “. This notion is also reflected in the design of the book . When opened, the book is split into two smaller books: the left side contains the compelling stories of those impacted by the conflict , their portraits , and extended captions by Mielnikiewicz. The right side contains only photographs and portrays daily life as it continues to unfold despite the turmoil around it. Ukraine Runs through It  is a passionate, committed study of how everyday life persists despite the upheavals of social and political change . “ (The Fall 2019 issue of The PhotoBook Review, p.21 , Aperture )
