This is a sensual and emotional story about love, loss and memories.
She misses her, really misses her, but it’s over, and only the dry roses remind her of that crazy and passionate love.
Quite often my inspiration comes from songs, and this time is no exception.
I was inspired by Diana Arbenina’s song ‘You gave me roses’, and this song tells us about the love between two women.
This is a beautiful and emotional story that I wanted to capture with my camera.
And this is also a sad story about a breakup.
But should the pain and the fear of losing love stop us?
Should we be afraid of falling in love again and again?
And in the end, what is our life without love and passion?
