For so long we dream of growing up, whilst the beauties of growth slip away from us. Through Photography by Valeri Haravets, styling by Uglova Antonina and hair & makeup by Marina Pavlenko on model Vladislav Ostrovskii, we are projecting the vulnerability behind living our true selves. Vulnerability for so long has been dragged along with a negative connotation, when being vulnerable and secure enough to open yourself completely to live to the fullest is one of the most beautiful and fulfilling thing you can do in your lifetime. We as humans have become so conditioned into a mundane life, we no longer are free, unknowingly tied to a system that thrives off of a repetitive cycle. We must break this cycle before it becomes too late, before we miss our chances at freedom, at truly living. So never take one moment in your life for granted because before you know it, it is too late.
