Born in Bulgaria, Chakarova started this project to understand what happened to her generation of women. It took her many years to gain the trust of the women you see in the photos. These women are broken, yet Chakarova captures their remarkable strength to endure, to escape and to live to tell what each one of them wishes to forget. It is her attempt to honor her generation of women, what they lost and found along the way.
