Many Domes

The Church of the Transfiguration at Kizhi was built without a single nail and carries twenty-two domes. Here the tiers are rebuilt anew, red over a light ground.

A church built without a single nail, taken apart into what it is made of: aspen scales of the domes, tier upon tier, the plan on a sheet. Dark wood, red and birch bark — the palette of the North, where everything is made by hand.

Tiers of domes, red on a light ground, crosses in a vertical line.
