Distant Familiarity is a colorful collection of photographs from a variety of locations in the former Soviet Union, including Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Among the assortment of scenes and subjects, evidence of particularly Russian character can be observed protruding from many of the photographs. However, it all depends on the viewer. For some, it may very well be all too familiar: a day at the beach, a hearty lunch, the playful curtains in your childhood room. Halfway across the world is just a distance; it seems in the end we share much in common.
These photos are not only a documentation of the places and things I’ve seen along my travels, but also an invitation to reflect on what makes our cultures unique and universal at the same time. Please enjoy the view!
