A KALTBLUT exclusive by Semra Ocalmis, a photographer and creative director based between Berlin and Accra. The model is Musu Kebba Ndure, signed at IZAIO Management. The editorial explores the quiet tension between vulnerability and power. Through bold colours, deliberate posture, and a serene gaze, the story captures a presence that is both tender and commanding. Stillness here becomes an act of strength, a space where softness does not weaken, but fortifies.
