vide venus denuo: dualitas

This picture speaks to me how beauty of love can be saint but lustfully passionate at the same time. It inspired me to call it 'dualitas' in latin to highlight the duality of it.

About the collection: 'vide venus denuo' - means 'see beauty/love again' in latin. This serie is my first attempt to make my eyes see and feel beauty again, after being in war conditions for three months. All this time, me and all Ukrainians were in locked psychological state, concentrated on survival, seeing horrors and thinking about them constantly. After a while, mind and feelings went trough transformation and realisation came that life still continues and we need to live on, even with death being so close. This serie of pictures is my personal act of resistance to this inner blocks, manifesting that there is still beauty in life that I can capture and show to others.
