TITLE: Sculptures | Tuileries Garden

The idea to create this series came while visiting the Tuileries Garden in Paris. The masterpieces of 17th century sculptors fascinate many people. I sought to turn the photos into a mystical story about the heroes of the sculptures. To implement my idea, I used fog filters for photography.
