Silence

In a realm of deep shadows and muted light, two girls stand as silent sentinels of emotion. Their long, auburn hair flows like flames against the blackness, while their expressions convey a gravity far beyond their years. One raises a finger—perhaps a pledge, a threat, or a plea for stillness. Their dark garments blur into the background, emphasizing their unity and isolation. The image, titled *Silence*, captures a moment suspended between innocence and foreboding, where words are unnecessary and the gaze speaks volumes. Photographer Elina Garipova masterfully evokes a gothic atmosphere, turning a simple gesture into a powerful narrative of connection and quiet resistance.
