A detailed view of a Chernobyl liquidator's gas mask, dominating the frame with its rugged, true-to-life texture. This authentic piece, inspired by designs from the Soviet-era, features distinctly rounded lenses and robust rubber seals. The sturdy straps show signs of wear, coated in a fine layer of blackened soot and dust from the reactor's aftermath. Adjustments include faint, haunting reflections in the lenses that hint at the desolate landscape beyond, and subtle etchings on the rubber surface that tell stories of survival and resilience.
