Void

A KALTBLUT exclusive. Void began as an idea by the Netherlands-based makeup artist Nicky Ruisch. The editorial explores a journey from emotional suppression to self-acceptance, embodied by Toma Romanova and photographed by Olena Mindrina in Berlin.

Through five looks, the story follows the process of learning to feel, express, and protect one’s inner peace. The styling and silhouettes by Elene Bakhtadze show the transformation from restriction to vulnerability and finally to confidence and strength.
