A Grau Magazine Publication #3, Winter 2025/2026
Cover 2/8: Ewan Waddell & Liubov Dyvak
For the 24-page cover story on Liubov Dyvak and Ewan Waddell, we visited the couple in their apartment and spoke with them about their recent film The Longer You Bleed, which examines society’s growing desensitization caused by the constant circulation of war imagery online. The film portrays the emotional and psychological exhaustion of those affected, and the ways in which they navigate everyday horrors.

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Liubov Dyvak fled to Berlin. At the time, Ewan Waddell was working for a creative studio and researching a self-initiated article. For that project, the Brit interviewed Ukrainian refugees who had escaped to Berlin, and Liubov Dyvak was among them. Today, the two are a couple and have a child together.
Ewan Waddell studied Film, Photography, and Media at the University of Leeds and now works as a filmmaker and director. Liubov Dyvak studied Art History at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, worked in galleries, and is currently pursuing work as a makeup artist. Earlier this year, they released their first joint film, The Longer You Bleed, written and directed by Ewan Waddell, produced by and featuring Liubov Dyvak.
Across 256 pages, we speak with artists, filmmakers, composers, designers, curators, politicians, and editors-in-chief.
