Poozerye is a historic place, located on the northwest shore of Lake Ilmen in Russia.This is my small homeland, where I come every summer to relax with my parents and my children from Moscow. During other times of the year, it’s not very crowded here, but in the summer, life is vibrant. I enjoy observing the children and comparing their childhood to my own. This series consists of photos taken in the summer of 2024. They are about the carefree nature of childhood, and at the same time, about the fact that every child is unique.
