Soft Monuments exist in the dual tones of Belgrade: a city suspended between luxury and survival. It reflects the paradox of living beautifully while raw-dogging life. Between marble and concrete, perfume and exhaust, the images move through the contradictions of defiance. This is a story made of postcards from Belgrade.

A visual study of light, form, and the sculptural language of the body — photographed and directed by Katarzyna Bartnik in Kołobrzeg, Poland.

This project challenges traditional boundaries and invites the viewer to imagine what it means to be a girl in an ever-evolving world. It merges high-tech aesthetics with raw human emotion, inviting reflection on what it means to exist and evolve in an increasingly digital world. Through experimental lighting, sculptural styling, and layered compositions, the series reflects on the blurred line between the machine and self, softness and edge, permanence and impermanence.

In this suspended landscape, what remains are fragments: of ourselves, of our authenticity, of the relationships that define us.

In a world awash with color, timeless elegance emerges in shades of rouge, black and white. The Art of Contrast celebrates refined femininity and quiet strength through sculptural silhouettes, fluid movement, and cinematic light. Each frame captures a dialogue between softness and structure — the delicate ruffle of tulle meeting the sharp line of tailored suiting — revealing that true style exists in the balance between grace and power.
