“Portals: 42.3154070, 43.3568920” is a deeply personal project born from my fascination with neon crosses scattered throughout my home country. As memorials for the deceased, these crosses intrigued me due to their stark contrast with the asceticism of Orthodox Christianity. I began collecting a typology of these vibrant symbols along roads and various locations, documenting their presence in the landscape and examining the concept of communication with the otherworldly.
