The Destruction of a Beautiful Thing

Beauty, once captured, becomes an image that no longer belongs to the living but to the eye that consumes it. In that gaze, obsession forms, parasocial and one-sided, where desire feeds on distance and turns the image into a drug we return to until it replaces what was real. This series lingers in the moment that illusion collapses, when beauty is stripped, distorted, and destroyed, revealing how fragile the image always was.
