A colour photo with rectangular swimming pool under a clear blue sky. In the foreground is a light-colored tiled deck, partially enveloped by a large triangular shadow. Beyond the pool, there is a range of rolling hills covered with dense foliage

Rêveries and sculpting at dusk with Elizabeth

#encounters #beauty #believeinfilm #callofthewest #RayMax
A black and white analogue image of a woman laying on the floor on her stomach, her body twisted to form a sculpture. We can see her face, her lips. One eye is covered by her long hair. One hand rests on her nude back. One slender foot with painted toenails is pushing on the wall behind her, where the shadow reflects the composition.

Black and white analogue photo of a dancer leaning with her back on a wall. She is topless, her body posture and her gaze suggest a contemplative state. Perhaps in her mind she is playing the philosophical lyrics and slightly hypnotic rhythm of a favourite song, and some recent events in her life
