Where Icons Meet Ruins
The Mission Behind Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The sole and unwavering mission of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse charity photo project is to create powerful, emotionally resonant images that reflect the resilience of the human spirit—through the presence of world-renowned cultural icons—set against the haunting ruins of war-torn Ukraine.
Each photo session will conclude with the release of a limited-edition art poster featuring the participating figure, photographed amid the devastated remnants of one of Ukraine’s cities. A selection of these posters will bear the subject’s original autograph, adding both symbolic and collectible value.
We will invite each featured individual to share the project by posting a link across their professional and personal platforms, directing their global audience to the charity auction supporting the future Mother Teresa Rehabilitation Center—a haven being established for Ukrainian children who have been disabled by Russia’s military aggression.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse project will ultimately culminate in the publication of an exceptional, museum-quality photo album—documenting the entire journey and paying tribute to each powerful collaboration.
