People appear as small silhouettes against frozen rivers, empty avenues, parked cars and brutal blocks of architecture, giving each image the tension of a film still caught between scenes.</p>\n<p>The series is strongest in the way it handles scale and atmosphere. Saint Petersburg feels vast, cold and slightly unreal, but never detached from everyday life. A person crossing the street, a dog passing a coffee kiosk, a car buried under snow or a lone tree on an open white field all become part of the same visual rhythm.</p>\n<p>For more of Viktor
