Laundry, suspended on lines, throughout Artsakh once told stories of home, pride and domestic ritual. Amid war, blockade and exile, it became a fragile thread of memory and survival, a line of cloth carrying the weight of loss, resilience and love for a vanished home.

Several hundred forcibly displaced people from Artsakh have found refuge in the Armenian village of Ranchpar. As they struggle to make sense of their loss and create a new life, they hang on to the hope that, like the storks of the village who return each year, they too will one day return to their native Artsakh.
