Journeying
to the far-north Russian town of Tiksi on the
Arctic Ocean where she grew up until she was eight years old, Arbugaeva wanted to recapture the enchanted memories she had
of a childhood before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Her photographic journey really came to life when she befriended a young girl,
Tanya, who served as her model in this place of desolation and wonder. There is
Tanya with her husky dog on the
first day of summer, wearing her red boots and trapped on an ice floe. There
she is, running on the snow after school past a wreck
of an enormous, yellow cement block building. In another photo Tanya skips
stones from a rusty barge; in another she creates an eerie shadow on an old
brick house. There is her uncle Vanya ice fishing, and in another the glory of
a place where for sixty-seven consecutive days in winter the sun does not rise
but the Aurora Borealis turns on its violet, green and yellow lights.
These polar
photographs took my breath away, perhaps because I sometimes believe that I
live in the frozen tundra, even as climate change shakes the earth and weird
events separate winter into cold and warm days. I cherish the days when my Orion magazine arrives in my mailbox,
bringing me beauties such as these eleven photographs from the far north land. www.orionmagazine.org .
