A close-up image of a Chernobyl liquidator's gas mask, dominating the frame with intricate, lifelike detail. The mask appears aged and genuine, inspired by Soviet-era designs featuring oval lenses, sturdy rubber seals, and robust straps, all encrusted with ash and dust from the reactor’s fallout. Small droplets of moisture gather on the lenses, hinting at the humid, oppressive environment, while faint scratches on the surface tell silent stories of past encounters.
