‘Through her empathy, unique viewpoint and sensory-laden craft of writing – augmented by the quiet companionship of her still camera and an eye finely attuned to the emotional immediacy of time and place, meshing the organic and the inanimate – Ms. Stout brings to life the raw, intimate, and deeply human stories of Ukrainians from all regions and walks of life. Forging meaningful relationships and bonds like few others would allow themselves to do, in a world steeped in uncertainty, she captures moments made truly momentous by their very survival, revealing the profound toll of a war that continues to reshape individual lives and collective memory.‘
