Description

Домой не зовут.

4/?

As in any work from these series, there could be multiple connotations. Make of it what you will. 


Concerning kikimory .

In case you haven't seen something like it — those are car tyres painted and half-dug into the ground, the common thing for any russian playground.

It looks so much like my country, Romania, both the buildings and those playground tyres. Which makes this all the more creepy and atmospheric for me. I absolutely love the colouring, the striking different between the desaturated background and the red foreground as well as the way the style shifts from realistic to fantastic.

Thank you! Glad if it read that way)

Thank you)

I don't know how much of a universal thing this is, so I had to clarify just in case) I can only assume that it can be found in post-soviet counties at the very least.
