R.E.D. (Realistic Etheral Dreams)
R.E.D. is a surreal photography project that transports us into the dream of a young dancer as she closes her eyes to sleep. In her dream, the girl "wakes up" at the bottom of the sea. There, unburdened by human constraints and the need to breathe, she begins to dance, allowing her body to be swept away by the movements of the water, performing figures that would probably be impossible on land. However, everything around her is devoid of color, except for her dress—a deep red garment that brings life to the otherwise colorless landscape. This vibrant hue symbolizes the power of passion for what we love and serves as a reminder that everything is possible if we believe in it within ourselves, even when our surroundings suggest otherwise.

Angels Wear White
"Angels Wear White" is an artistic photography project that features a young woman swimming and dancing underwater in a clear blue sea, dressed in a white gown. Her poses often evoke the image of a spirit floating in the air, which significantly contributes to the "Angels" theme reflected in the project's title. Do angels wear white or swim underwater? We don't know. But If heaven is a place on earth, then this angel has found her home.
