Ilya Makarov
a frozen settlement in Yakutsk, Siberia
Ilya Makarov grew up in a remote Siberian town, where his family relied on a single snow-covered road to stay connected to the outside world. He spends his days repairing cars, ensuring they endure the bitter winters, while his nights are dominated by the anxiety of his shop's aging equipment. Despite his stress, there's a gentle humor in the way he apologizes to inanimate objects, hinting at a deep-seated respect for the world around him.
