A passage between realms—where sky and soul dissolve into one.Thisportal is not an escape, but a return: an inward journey through lightand shadow, where galaxies echo the forgotten language of dreams.Here,we cross into the unseen to remember who we are.

The silence of the stars opens a doorway inward.Bathed in celestiallight, the figure stands at the edge of becoming—where cosmic dustand inner stillness blur.A meditation on transcendence, this portalinvites usto dissolve the boundaries between self and source,andlisten to the quiet truth that lives in the dark.

Not every ascent is visible.Some awakenings bloom in shadow.You arealready risingthrough layers of thought and forgetting.Each breath, asignal.Each letting go, a flight.The vastness is not elsewhere—it isyours.

You search the horizon,but the answer is already turning in yourchest.What you reach for in the distanceis often a mirror.Everyquestion cast into the starsechoes back through your own becoming.

There is a radiance you carrythat does not ask to be earned.It expandswhen you listen.It sharpens when you rest.Color is not decoration—itis memory.Light is not outside you—it is origin.This is whereexpansion begins.

In stillness, clarity begins.Let the noise settle.Let the surfacedistort.Only then does the truth rise—not in sharp lines, but insoftened light,where the self becomes visiblethrough what it hasreleased.Refraction: ReflectionIn stillness, clarity begins.Let thenoise settle.Let the surface distort.Only then does the truthrise—not in sharp lines, but in softened light,where the selfbecomes visiblethrough what it has released.

There is a rhythm beyond sound,a motion that asks nothing but yourpresence.In the hush between thoughts,you rise—not upward, butinward,where the cosmos humswith everything you already are.

You are always closer than you think.Beneath the quiet, somethingancient listens.What you call distancemay only be a soft layer offorgetting—light waiting to be rememberedthrough the stillness youcarry.

We didn’t pose. We were present. No wetsuits, no masks - nothingbetween our skin and the ocean. Nine women, like mermaids, enteredthe icy 11°C waters, completely bare, raw, fearless, and free. Whathappened wasn’t a performance. It was a surrender. A quietunfolding. A return. This was more than a photoshoot. A stillmoment that echoed something ancient and true. We are not separatefrom nature. We are nature. Cape Town, South Africa

We didn’t pose. We were present. No wetsuits, no masks – nothing between our skin and the ocean. Nine women, like mermaids, entered the icy 11°C waters, completely bare, raw, fearless, and free. What happened wasn’t a performance. It was a surrender. A quiet unfolding. A return. This was more than a photoshoot. A still moment that echoed something ancient and true. We are not separate from nature. We are nature. Cape Town, South Africa.

Women from different corners of the world came together — from Africa, Europe, Asia. Among them were both Ukrainian and Russian women.

They lay with their bare bodies on sharp, glass-like fragments of hardened lava. It was painful. The lava left scratches on their skin. This act became a performance — a gesture of unity, pain, acceptance, and strength. They lay side by side, without division, as a symbol of equality and peace.

We are all red inside. The lava represents renewal, a symbol of cleansing and complete liberation from prejudice, from everything that divides us. Out of burning pain, something honest, raw, and alive is born.
