Where Summer Lives 

Russia, 2025

Where Summer Lives is a visual exploration of childhood memory, of how it feels from within: endless, bright, and utterly real. Water from a rusty pump, a leap into hay, bare feet on an old windowsill — these simple scenes become symbols of freedom and happiness, which in childhood are taken as the most natural part of life. The series reminds us that childhood is not a time but a state of soul, perhaps the most honest and pure thing we are able to carry within us.
