TITLE: Lifeguard

Photography can be a voice in the discussion about strong, independent women, about the crisis of masculinity, about the slow change of social roles in the modern world. It can be, but it doesn't have to be;) That’s what I love most about art. This is just one possible interpretation, one of many possible titles. What are yours?
