“What need to clutch with iron grasp What gentlest touch may take?

What need with aspect dark to scare, So awfully, so terribly,

The weary soul would hardly care, Call’d quietly, call’d tenderly,

From thy dread power to break? ...”

CAROLINE SOUTHEY, “TO DEATH”

​

​

“Ophelia” is a fashion editorial that mixes a strong influence of East-European stylism with the romance and drama of classical Pre-Raphaelitism.

The story tells us about Ophelia. Despite her wealth
and advantages, the young girl abandons the vanitas once she understands how much suffering the world has outside the aristocratic privileges. Through pictorialism, images speak the language of nostalgia and confusion — the two pillars of Ophelia’s inner self.
