Red Cathedral

Here the city is broken into colored volumes: red, green, a point of light. Detail is deliberately stripped away.

The city is taken at the hour when the lamps are already lit and the sky still holds light: Kremlin towers and Stalin-era high-rises show through translucent layers. Moscow here is not a postcard but a weather — dense, dark, dotted with windows.
