CONCEPT: SOUL ESSENCE
What does your true nature look like?
We are the universe, expressing itself as a human for a little while. The secrets of the universe are imprinted in our core, in our soul essence which treasures magnificent gifts and talents, yet unique, making us complex, fascinating beings. Makes us who we truly are. To me, our soul essence is who we are at our core, distinctively created by God. If we eliminate the material aspects of this life, discard the ever-changing opinions of the world around us and remove the expectations of others and ourselves, take off the mask that we wear in society, underneath there is the infinite energy, the divine child of the universe waiting to express himself in its finest and most natural form. Mother Earth, nature, and we share and have a strong connection with the 4 elements of nature, being present all around us and within us in order to establish a balance. Fire is purification, courage, passion, elegance, energy, a tool for transformation, and represents the strength of one's self. Water represents healing, emotional release, intuition, and wisdom. Air acts for intellect, mental intention, and connection to all universal life forces, and finally, earth represents grounding, the foundation of life, connection to life path, and family roots. We are born of water, we live with fire and air, and finally, die on the earth. Mental intention and connection to all universal life forces and finally, earth represents grounding, the foundation of life, connection to life path, and family roots.

Fire: The Dragon - Flavian Doroftei
Water: Știma - Iuliana Gabriela Aanitei
Body painter (the dragon) - Stãnescu Corina
We aimed to illustrate two legendary figures in this photo shoot: the Dragon and Știma, the spirit of sweet waters. Water and fire are the two elements that each stands for as essential.
According to our people's beliefs (the Romanian tradition), every water has the mythological and magical Știma. She presents herself as a long-haired, wildly attractive, and incredibly beautiful white woman who seduces males into drowning."

This project is still open, and Nicoleta (the model), proposed to me as the next theme/element of the concept, to interpret Odin.
In this case, Odin is representing the cycle of life " the god of both war and death".
Odin can also be associated with the air element "Air acts of intellect, mental intention, and connection to all universal life forces".

"Aag kee aatma”
"Fire is purification, energy, passion, anger, elegance but also sacredness. A man's soul is made of fire and water, it knows when it must burn and go out. We are born of water, we live with fire and air and we die in the earth. Fire also means love, but it can be a quieter and immortal flame of a candle or the aggressive and short flame of a match. It's up to us what we choose. Permanent heat or transient heat. "

"And like flowers in the fields, that make wonderful views, when we stand side-by-side in our wonderful hues ..
We all make beauty so wonderfully true.
We are special and different, and just the same, too!
So Whenever you look at your beautiful skin, from your wiggling toes to your giggling grin ...
Think how lucky you are that the skin you live in, so beautifully holds the "You" who's within. "
