New epoch-making

"Future lies in the roots" is the oxymoron that defines our age. In a world driven by the speed factor, true pioneers are those who know how to stop, reflect, meditate and look back at the past, those who nourish the soul before the body.

New visions always come from the awareness of what once was. Italian photographer Letizia Toscano knows it well and, under the artistic direction of Stela Plaka, transfers all this onto images with the help of her assistant Caterina Colapietro. Here, the stunning model Valeria Molyboha, who shines brightly in Nataly Bondar's make-up, dances inside a box of time and space. An empty world where night and day are blurred. A Rubik's cube that expresses the metaphor for our life.

As soon as we were born, we were like a new cube, with each coloured face in its place. The first desire is to jump headlong into the game of joints, to turn, to try and to have fun, spending the rest of our lifetime searching for the initial balance.
