This series was formed around the concept of femininity and the describing it from art and pseudo-historical retrospective. Film photography, thanks to its honesty and tactility, served as an excellent material for creativity and very subtly conveyed such female beauty. The main photo with an apple is a kind of flirting with both fairy-tale and biblical symbols and archetypes. The Muse immediately appears in my head, referring by its nature to the reference of Eve or Little Red Riding Hood...we imagine such concepts as forbidden fruit, a desire, sexuality or immaculate beauty emerge.
