Description

The Russian hinterland, reimagined. A burrow as a hole; a hole as home—a native place, close in a way only a mother could understand. Until the soul begins to ache; once it has ached, breathe.

  • A white rabbit sits in the arms of a dark figure in a surreal Russian landscape.
  • Russian hinterland in a new reading. Nora in the sense of a hole, when a hole in the sense of a native place, close as only a mother can understand. Before the whining of the soul, after the whining breathe.
