"St Petersburg skies (as seen from afar)" (I can call it a series... because why not)

Rina Repina is a Kazakhstan-born researcher, artist and storyteller based in London, UK, who came there in 2022 from St Petersburg, Russia and has not been there ever since.

From the artist: “‘St Petersburg skies (as seen from afar)’ is a series of sketches born out of an urge to process the intricate interconnections of memory and (be)longing. Meditating on ‘somebody else’s sky’ as a poetic image inherited from the Silver Age of Russian poetry, centred around early 20th-century St Petersburg/Petrograd and the eventual displacement of the first wave of Russian emigration, I seek to focus on light as a uniting force of human existence.”

Yada, yada, yada.
Everything is true. Those are from 2023.
