Description

In Here and Here, photographer Karin Odendahl captures the resilience, fragility, and poetry of life shaped by displacement. Her painterly photographs from Georgia and Israel reveal the everyday realities of Abkhazian refugee families and the emotions carried within since leaving home: love, empathy, grief, silence, and hope.

Through photography, double exposures, and experimental techniques, Odendahl transforms images into layered reflections of memory and identity. Here and Here is more than a visual record – it is a moving meditation on belonging, vulnerability, and the strength to create beauty even in the most uncertain places.
