Photographer Chronicles the Simple Lives of Her Aunties in Rural Russia

For Brooklyn-based photographer Nadia Sablin, many of her childhood memories took place in Russia. In the small village of Alekhovshchina, which lies five hours north of St. Petersburg where Sablin was born and raised before she moved to the States, reside her two aunties who still maintain the house that was originally built by their father (Sablin’s grandfather) in the early 1900's. Over seven consecutive summers, Sablin stayed with her aunties and began a project chronicling the lives and rituals of these two elderly, unmarried sisters with her lens. What unfolds in her photographs is a touching tale of sisterly love, familial bonds, and land as a means of survival.
