A KALTBLUT exclusive by Gabi Gruszka, a Polish photographer who blends fashion, reportage, and conceptual photography. She often draws inspiration from urban environments, art, nature, and personal narratives, creating visual layers that invite viewers to look deeper. The model is Tsitsi Nyamutswa.
„I Feel Like I’m Drowning” is a visual narrative that plunges into the depths of darkness, intertwining three distinct sources of inspiration: music, Slavic mythology, and the current global landscape. This editorial draws upon the haunting tones of Two Feet’s track, the enigmatic figure of the Topielica, and the rising tide of mental health struggles, including depression, anxiety, and burnout. Through a fusion of stark, evocative imagery and symbolic fashion, this story captures the essence of a world teetering on the edge, where beauty and despair coexist in a haunting dance. The editorial reflects the shadows that loom in today’s society and resonates with the undercurrents of resilience and the silent strength found within.
