- By photographing hospitals in small towns around Kyiv, Oksana Nevmerzhytska denounces the Ukrainian health system, which has been completely abandoned.
- From different stories lived in her region of origin, Elena Subach builds a series around the universe of meteorites and the world's end.
- For Daria Svertilova, teenagers reveal their living space, rooms with walls saturated with drawings, photos, posters, and words, accentuating the gap between Soviet buildings in faded colors and this young generation eager for the West.
