Nargiz

Amid the quiet hush of a mangrove forest, Nargiz emerges as a figure of quiet strength and grace. Water laps gently around her legs, reflecting the dappled light filtering through the canopy. Her dark attire—both practical and poetic—blends with the shadows, while the staff in her hand suggests a journey through the wild. The air is thick with moisture and mystery, as if time has slowed. This is not just a portrait, but a moment of communion with the untamed world, captured with cinematic depth by Mykola Novikov. She stands not as an intruder, but as a guardian of the green, breathing silence.
