Simona Zecca - Held by Light

Held by Light ne signifie pas simplement « éclairé », mais « soutenu », « embrassé », « protégé » par la lumière.
Même dans les moments de vulnérabilité, il existe une lumière – spirituelle, émotionnelle ou symbolique – capable de soutenir notre identité et de faire émerger notre force intérieure.
Mon intention était de communiquer la sérénité, la renaissance et une beauté non ostentatoire, mais profondément intérieure.
