The Transfer of Power
He was born to be the First — and is already receiving the mission.
This 1925 photograph captures a sacred triad: the child stands between grandfather and grandmother — a symbolic moment of ancestral power being passed forward. The absence of the parents is meaningful: it draws attention to the lineage as the true source of strength.
Little Ivan stands on his own, lightly holding on — he’s being taught to carry his own weight. The grandparents do not hold him; they witness, but they do not possess. The child is not shielded — he is entrusted.
This is not merely an image of a boy — it is the moment the firstborn receives his calling. The clothing is simple, but the posture is proud. The photo becomes a rite of passage: Ivan is chosen.
Alt-text:
Little Ivan stands between his grandfather and grandmother, 1925. The visual focus is on the child — symbolizing the transmission of ancestral power and the beginning of his path as the eldest son.
