A photograph of a dead woman's hand, her freshly painted nails standing out in the mud on her skin, has become an icon of Russian atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha.
Months after the picture was taken, her family and friends are struggling with her loss.
Brightly painted nails - four in red, the fifth with a small purple heart bordered with silver polish...
Irina Filkina was a 52-year-old heating operator at a shopping center when she was killed in Bucha, a town northwest of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
When journalists entered Buča after the withdrawal of Russian forces, they found Filka's body next to her bicycle.
Filkina died in Jablunska Street, a long, now infamous, thoroughfare on the southern edge of Buča, where the other bodies of civilians, some with their hands tied behind their backs, were left unattended.
Mayor Buče says that Russian forces killed 400 civilians.
Irina's beautician, Anastasija Subačeva, who now lives in Vilnius, Lithuania, recalls the evening in April when she came across a social media post showing a lifeless hand.
"I went through our messages and compared the pictures I took of her with that picture. And it was her. I started screaming....I cried on my mother's shoulder, I felt so empty and hurt."
Another person still trying to make sense of her murder is her partner, Anatoly Shchiruk, pictured here holding one of her sweaters.
Svitlana Safonova looks at a photo of Filkina, who was her sister. She learned about her death from Filka's daughters.
One cold February day, Šciruk joined Safonova near Filkina's grave in Buča.
They fought back tears after placing 12 pink roses near a simple cross marking her final resting place.
Reuters reports that Irina has become a symbol of the war in Ukraine.
"For me, the world ended on March 5 (which is believed to be the day of Filka's death)," Safonova said as she sobbed next to her sister's grave.
"It's one thing when someone dies after a long illness and is buried. It's another thing if someone is killed unexpectedly and for no reason."
