Cold Outside

by Igor Zenin · 2004

An orange cat curls up on a windowsill among a small pile of apples, watching a snowy sunset village through a window laced with frost. The frost climbs the glass in delicate branching patterns, framing the warm colors outside like a stained-glass border. Inside stays dark and close; outside stretches wide and pink-gold all the way to the rooftops. Cold Outside captures that specific comfort of being warm on the right side of the glass while everything beautiful happens just beyond it.
