Stars over Donbass

I reckon my indignation with collapsing buildings increases with the proximity, and the more they’re close to my home the more I worry. So I have to get back to it, time and again. Leaving a bit my dreamy universe to get into real sad things. I recently learned that the pro Russians organised a

T9114

Suimsuit III

The last of the series. I wanted to make another contrast between the flowery bathing suit and a very blue swimming pool. Instead of catapulting my model in my rusty world, I thought it would be nice to get into her own. With lights from the past and a clear horizon ahead.
