We all feel a dichotomy between what we feel and what we express, hiding our emotions, vices or mental health problems with phrases like "I can control this" or "I am fine". This is a short story with temporary order of an emotional mismanagement and above all a reminder to ask for help instead of covering it.

There is a link between all the images to check the order of the series: in the first one there are white flowers that will appear in the next photograph. In "Motor Oil Can" there is fire that will reappear in the third one. In "Addictions" the pink color appears for the first time and it will be repeated on the rose of the 4th photograph. In the 4th image there is a white flower with blood that will be again in the last photo.
Finally, in the 5th picture there is a liquid in the bathtub that reappears in the very first photograph of the series. So the cycle will keep going until she asks for help.

Olga studied Industrial Design Engineering but she has always wanted to be an artist, in fact, she has been painting at Conchita de la Cueva's studio since she was 9 years old. Later she studied a master's in Art Direction in Barcelona, and also learnt scenography and coolhunting among other studies. The particularity of her photography is that they are a mix between all her acquired knowledge.

In 2020 she started taking photos, and during that year she obtained her first photography international recognition. So she continued to enter contests, started exhibiting her work and winning prizes.
