Iya Beksheneva
Silent (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Self-portrait.
This photo shows the condition when you are unable to say about love because you feel fear of being rejected and unheard. It makes you commit violence against yourself to restrain the storm of your own feelings. You begin to suffer even more because physical pain also comes to mental agony. Being unable to express your love, passion, you become a slave of your negative feelings such as anxiety, sorrow, fear, suffering. Eyes are screaming for help and lips are full of life and want love.
