A Story of Romantic Nostalgia

In an era ruled by nostalgia’s allure, this project weaves a dialogue between two moments in history united by a longing to escape: the ethereal Romanticism of the 19th century and our modern-day fascination with the sensual, sun-drenched spirit of the 1970s. As Romantic artists once pushed back against the iron and smoke of the Industrial Revolution, today’s gaze turns rearward, searching for softness, nature, and a slower pulse.

The series unveils a model draped in contemporary pieces cut with seventies undertones—burnt oranges, fluid silhouettes—first captured against a stark backdrop, then transported into hand-painted landscapes of another time. Through collage and refined manipulation, photography slips toward the language of painting, inviting blur, grain, and tactile imperfections. It becomes a meditation on our collective yearning for the essential, reframed, and reimagined through today’s visual language.
