Vasily Morozov
a frozen settlement in Yakutsk, Siberia
Raised at a remote gas station in Siberia, Vasily was taught resilience and precision by the owner who found him there. The harsh climate and loneliness shaped his perception, while long days engaging with prison inmates honed his intuition about human behavior. Deeply afraid of abandonment, Vasily fears misjudging the intentions revealed through a person's hands.
