Artist's Comments

"Slowly flying silent,
Touching the wind
As it sadly sings for me.

Aging on the outside,
With my youth in my empty hands,
Lost all that I was living for, live no longer.

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes,
I saw myself and tears were falling.
The seas of her eyes reflected my old age,
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring.

Faster falling kingdom,
Dancers on winter winds,
They dance for me.

Nature's ways,
Life can't always be controlled,
Controlled by fear,
Scared of months and years, fear no longer.

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes,
I saw myself and tears were falling.
The seas of her eyes reflected my old age,
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring.

The Gathering - The Mirror Waters

"'I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me.
Why should it keep what I must lose? Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some daymock me horribly!'
The hot tears welled into his eyes; he tore his hand away and, flinging himself on the divan, he buried his face in the cushions, as though he was praying.
"

Oscar Wilde - The Picture Of Dorian Gray, chapter II


Definitely one of my favourite photos of this shot and, in general, of my whole work. I love everything: the mood, the way I came out, the postprocessing... everything.
By the way, in case you were wondering, the idea of the ribbons on the shirt was taken from a picture of Rosiel from Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki. I must confess that her characters are a constant source of inspiration for my outfits.
Update: I found a photo of ~contessanera wearing a very similar outfit. Although I did not remember it, maybe my unconscious memory suggested me that model too for the ribbon. XD

Oh man, I really love your clothes. They're so cool *_* And the picture is lovely! There's always so much emotion in your pics!

I'll dance on your grave until my feet bleed
Six feet under's, where you'll rot
No remorse, your ill fate kept you running
:iconchaobaby7:
I love this picture too, and the words that go with it. it feels tragic and yet magical. I love your pale skin in this picture and the way you wear a red ribbon bound around your hand.

I’m breaking up inside
I cry myself to sleep thinking of you
Then wake up dreaming you died."

Oddio, non ho idea di come diavolo faccia Catan a non saltargli addosso e violentarlo. Rosiel è un mito a tutti gli effetti.
Grazie per tutti i complimenti! :smooch:
