MESSAGE
- The spiritual strength
of para athletes is the essence
of human power and a source
of inspiration for all of us. - Their resilience makes
their bodies shine. - I wanted to capture their aura
with an approach that focused
on their strength and beauty. - Having had the pleasure
of witnessing this first-hand,
I’d now like to share
it with others.
