Vessna had not seen the Groznyy image when she made this video. When I sent it to her to ask if I could post some of her video stills, she replied that she didn't look as "angelic, or desperate as the girl from Groznyy", but I was always moved by the images of her walking quietly through this Turkish town, she seemed to be floating and at the same time burdened by all the balloons.
