A photograph inspired by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At first glance, a simple portrait reminiscent of a perfume advertisement. The pose, the look, the arrangement of the hands suggest the well-known concept of seductive luxury and beauty. Something familiar, something we crave to push away our fears and keep control of our fragile lives. But... upon closer look, one can sense uncertainty and danger. Something that's definitely there, yet something that's so hard to acknowledge. The gloomy scenario. A finger over the red button makes our thoughts tangle. What if? What's next?
