“This is my reality now,” says Alena Grom of Bucha, Ukraine, whose work “Stolen Spring” won the People’s Choice award at Embracing Our Differences’ 2025 outdoor exhibitions, which celebrate kindness, respect, and inclusion at Sarasota’s Bayfront Park and St. Petersburg’s Poynter Park. “I live in Bucha and work in Irpin. After the Russian occupation, these cities were destroyed. The military landscape has become my reality and routine. Every day I see people who are restoring their cities, their personal lives from the ruins and looking into the future. This photograph is about that survival.” Grom received a $2,000 cash award for her work.
