The Court Rebellion — Cover

The Court Rebellion

We find ourselves in the moment before the inevitable: checkmate is already written in the gazes, in the restrained gestures, in the distance between bodies. The hierarchy begins to crumble. The rules no longer apply. The photoshoot seeks to portray the climate of geopolitical chaos that defines our time. An era in which conflicts continue to multiply and power is still measured in terms of victory and defeat, ignoring the human cost of every war.
