TITLE: Tenderness

With this work I wanted to convey a sense of serenity and tranquility. The naked figure of the girl on a white background creates an image of purity, and her relaxed pose seems to invite the viewer to slow down and enjoy the moment of silence and peace.
The photograph reminds us of the beauty and fragility of life. It invites us to stop and pay attention to what really matters - to the moments when we can feel deep and sincere emotions.
