Дальняя звезда (Distant Star)

Part of the "Sakhart' project.

Для многих слова
«отправиться на Сахалин»
означает что-то среднее между
«отправиться на край света» и долететь в космосе до далекой,
труднодоступной, заветной звезды.
Сахалин находится в тысячах километрах — от европейской части России.
Для многих этот остров,
словно далекая звезда,
воспринимается как нечто недостижимое и загадочное.

On social media the artist states the following:

For many, the words "go to Sakhalin"

mean something between "go to the ends of the earth" and fly in space to a distant, hard-to-reach, cherished star.

Sakhalin is located thousands of kilometers away from the European part of Russia. For many, this island, like a distant star, is perceived as something unattainable and mysterious.

About 'Sakhart'
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is the capital of the only island region of Russia. The city was formed by exceptional historical circumstances and natural and climatic conditions, but at the same time, with a predominance of typical architecture in the urban development. The linear-block structure of the districts and the absence of visual dominants form the perception of the city as a blank sheet that requires filling
