Viktor Novoselov

About

A collector of matchboxes from abandoned cities, Viktor nurses an obsession that burns as coldly as the memories he refuses to ignite. Behind his precise arrangements lies a labyrinth of unspoken migrations, each matchbox a silent witness to journeys interrupted and stories left unfinished.

Backstory

The day Viktor Novoselov chose to leave his grandmother's inn, the tide was high, and the sea whispered secrets through the cracked windows. He clutched a small, worn matchbox from a traveler who had never returned, his grandmother's last gift before she slipped away. The collection she left behind was his compass, each matchbox a tale of wanderers and their fleeting stays, but Viktor yearned for his own stories, for the world beyond the coastal town's horizon. He set out, not just to explore, but to fill the void left by his grandmother, one matchbox at a time, each a silent testament to his journey and the people he met.
