Warmth as
presence.

Misko begins with the familiar timber skid and turns it upright, multiplying and rotating the frame to form a compact enclosure. Its red skin is both beacon and shelter against the vast white landscape.

Like the cardinal, the structure does not retreat from winter. It creates a bright point of orientation and a small shared interior where skaters can pause, gather, and look back across the river.
