In Khrustal Roof, it doesn’t pay to be wise or ask too many questions—most of the old and knowing have disappeared, leaving a city dominated by the young and the quick. When an Old Head walks the streets, you’d best watch out—surviving this long means they’ve seen things you can’t imagine, and they’ve outlasted them all.

iVan88, the artist tag behind the "Khrustal Roof" series, captures snapshots of a metropolis overshadowed by a "Crystal Roof"—an unseen yet ever-present barrier that surveys and influences everyone living beneath it, including the characters featured. Rooted in visions of post-Soviet realism, the collection merges starkly realistic elements with surreal nuances, drawing inspiration for settings and styles from contemporary video games, the dystopian aesthetics of Blade Runner, and the contemplative richness of Eastern European sci-fi classics like Solaris. Khrustal Roof balances the futuristic with the nostalgic, embodying the gritty aesthetics of a world shaped by hidden pressure, surveillance, and constraint—but always defined by unseen boundaries.
