The project is a series of photographs taken during the morning hours in the Meshchansky district of Moscow—along the route from «Prospekt Mira» Metro Station to Bolshaya Pereyaslavskaya Street.
This is a personal observation of how a day begins in a big city. My starting point was personal experience: I came from Abkhazia and noticed that the mornings here are structured completely differently. In Abkhazia, the morning is quiet, centered around the sea and a cup of coffee before work. In Moscow, it is immediate motion, noise, technology, and haste. My photos capture precisely this Moscow rhythm, a rhythm I see especially sharply when contrasted with the memory of home.
The first part of the series depicts the city coming to life. The main focus here is on technology—machines, mechanisms, and working tools. People are present in these shots, but they do not take center stage; instead, they become part of the mechanism that begins the morning.
The second part shifts the focus from technique to the human element. If the first part established the rhythm through machines and mechanisms, this section shows how people absorb that rhythm—rushing, working, waiting, moving alongside the city.
