In this evocative black-and-white image by Shcheglova Marina, an elder woman leans against a backdrop of aged timber, embodying the enduring spirit of those who have lived close to the land. Her expression is both weary and wise, reflecting years spent in harmony with the rhythms of the forest. The rough texture of the logs mirrors the lines on her face, creating a visual metaphor for resilience and survival. This photograph captures not just a moment but a legacy — one written in bark and bone, silence and shadow.
