Lifeforms is a project dedicated to living things which i have a pleasure to encounter. Ones of such, the most feminine forms which i have the pleasure to see, feel, touch and love are women.

With their genuine soft yet powerful energy and appearance they create an energy flow that is re-creating equilibrium over and over again…
