POV: You're in the exclusion zone. The streets are empty yet full — every window a story, a sprout in every crack. The wind makes the Ferris wheel creak, though no one has ever ridden it.

Tips for Your Space

  • Walk slowly. Stop in front of an apartment block and count the windows. Listen to the creak of the Ferris wheel — and wonder who it turns for.

Oksana Marchenko

A quiet woman who spent her childhood on these streets and returned years later as a guide. She doesn't tell you about the city — she tells you about the memory of it.

Oksana: Walk slowly. This isn't a ruin; it's a pause. The city is still holding its breath, waiting.

Rituals
