Photographer Victoria Crayhon's project Far East: The Other Side of Russia has been featured in Edge of Humanity Magazine.
Crayhon's work is rooted in her experience coming of age in America as the Cold War waned. She explores and confronts stereotypes and perceptions of Russia and its people, posing the question "How does Russia’s own relationship with its complicated past intersect with now and its hopes for the future?"
One of Crayhon's intentions with the project is to explore the privatization and commoditization of public space within contemporary Eastern Russia.
"I continue to make photographs that contain a visual description of these spaces and the society which functions within, and to portray them alongside the adjustments to capitalism in the 21st century and how this is playing out socially, technologically and environmentally within these areas," said Crayhon.
