Land of Eternal Winter

MODEL Sanaaya Kulichkina

Photographed in Yakutia (Sakha Republic) – one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth; In January temperatures can reach -55°C, and winter lasts for more than half of the year, with snow covering the landscape from October through April. This series was styled exclusively using pieces from my mother’s old wardrobe, each handmade or locally crafted.

“Representative of authenticity, simplicity, resilience, strength, and tenderness; this is my homage to the Sakha Women.” Marina Kisiliakhova
