Russian romance

I am Armenian, born and raised in Russia. My childhood was shaped at the intersection of two cultures, Russian and Armenian. I have always been drawn to the quiet romance of Russian life: its simplicity, closeness to nature, and the ability to find beauty in everyday moments.

I remember summer hikes, rivers, cliffs, and city courtyards where urban life and nature existed seamlessly together. Everything around seemed to breathe with you, a constant reminder of the harmony between people and their surroundings.

This series is my observation of people and the ways they inhabit the world. How they watch the sunset, sit on the edge of a cliff in thoughtful silence, and celebrate the small joys of living fully in each moment.
