Snow Village

by Igor Zenin · 2017

Two figures trudge along a snow-buried path toward a village lit by a pale moon, their footprints the only mark on an otherwise untouched field. Snow-heavy branches arch overhead like a frozen doorway framing the whole scene, while a distant church tower rises above the rooftops through drifting mist. Smoke curls faintly from unseen chimneys, the only sign the village is alive rather than abandoned. Snow Village turns a simple walk home into something that feels like arriving at the edge of a fairy tale.
