Youth

I see carefree, lightness and beauty. Yet, cut lilies are the representation of the beginning and the end, referring to umbilical cord that once cut, begins the inevitable process of growth, blossom, degradation and passing away. The miraculous cycle of life. The decay is subtly depicted by the fallen leaves, yet the model seems to levitate over it. She looks back as if longing for the past, whereas her beautiful body with with stretch marks on the thigh jumps dynamically into the future, saying there is no turning back of time. So is it a passing moment or a moment that lasts? Photography, like no other medium, is capable of portraying a unique moment. Therefore, it is definitely a matter of being in the moment. To appreciate what is, right here, right now, regardless of your appearance or age. To welcome every new day as the first day of the rest of your life. It is a praise of life, ephemeral beauty and a moment that lasts.
