Bigger on the Inside (Haunted Castle)

As a Russian artist living in America, the fusion of cultures resonates deeply within me. Combining the spirit of Halloween and the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin, my captivating still life photography transports you to a world where my Russian heritage blends with my experiences in America. In this moonlight composition, a persimmon replaces the traditional American pumpkin, adorning a haunted castle.

The play of light and shadows evokes the essence of Halloween while paying homage to Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque. Within this eerie scene, I invite you to immerse yourself in the temporary suspension of norms and the liberation of the imagination.
