For me, this series represents the magic, spirituality, and culture of India, especially in the people.
I tried to express this artistically. Each motif should look different but never lose the connection to the series. The deeply rooted spirituality of India is the subject of this work. It was my whole endeavor to make this noticeable. In terms of expression, of course, but also through the costume, accessories, and makeup. Supported by light and shadow.
It had to be perfect so that every image has a soul, and while we see it, we can travel with it.
