In April 2014, Alena left her hometown due to the Russian occupation of eastern Ukraine, which influenced the direction of her work. One of the main themes of her work is life in spite of everything. Since 2016, she has focused on people and places affected by Russian aggression. Since 2017, she lives in Bucza. Alena Grom’s projects have been exhibited in Ukraine, the US, various locations in Australia, Europe and Asia. Her work has been honored with many international photography awards and prizes.

The Lublin Station residency program is organized in cooperation with Artsvit Gallery in Ukraine.
