While thinking about my recent life, I got really deep into understanding love, how people love, how do we receive or provide love and so on. Love between male and female, between friends, between family…. there’s so much to learn and yet I need to understand more so I tried to search for artist who use “love” as a centered theme, which then lead me to the website artsy and found Bert Stern’s photography — Twiggy and Justin, 1967, that attracted my eyeballs right away.

I really love how Bert Stern captures the soul and movement of the figures, these image seems so emotional, and I often felt like they are alive with their unique personality in front of me.
