Ukrainian Railroad Ladies is a series of portraits of women who work as traffic controllers and safety officers at railroad crossings in Ukraine. The women spend their long shifts in the little houses built specifically for them along the tracks.
The series studies Ukrainian landscapes where the exteriors of the houses play a prominent role. Looking into the intimate details of the interiors of the tiny homes, the photographs invite the viewer to meet the Railroad Ladies themselves. Given the almost full automatization of railroad crossings in Ukraine and around the world, the project also raises the question of why this profession still exists in the 21st century, exploring its anthropological and social aspects and the role and importance of the railroad, in general, in the country.
