Microcosm. In Memory of Academician V. A. Rubakov  

This project is part of an even larger initiative dedicated to the scientists and all the staff of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute for Nuclear Research. “Microcosm. In Memory of Academician V. A. Rubakov” is a tribute of respect, gratitude, and love to a person who did so much for all of us. He carefully and affectionately nurtured a new generation of physicists, who in turn continue the traditions of their Teacher.

In May 2024, after a long hiatus, our institute hosted its traditional international conference “Quarks.” Valery Anatolievich had been the organizer of this significant and large-scale event for many years. This time it took place without him, but each of his students, conference participants, and friends felt his presence. It lives within each of us. These hidden emotions and feelings wished to be expressed through photography. No one speaks of them out loud. The trauma of loss torments us and does not let go. Creativity is a path to healing.


The photographs in this series are arranged in a specific order, which carries a certain meaning. There are no descriptions for the photographs because the author wants the viewer to perceive the thought that each individual piece conveys, as well as the collective message of the series as a whole.
