Light+Refraction — Cover

Light+Refraction

A chromatic experiment in blue and gold: skin recast as porcelain under cold gel light, strands of wet hair sculpted against the cheek, a choker of clustered pearls heavy at the throat. The styling nods to mid-century glamour — glitter-dark lips, bare shoulders — but the lighting renders it clinical, almost specimen-like. Each frame captures not a person but the way light bends around form.
