BENJAMIN VNUK CAPTURES WHAT IT MEANS TO FEEL CLOSE
What does it mean to be close to someone? Is it about how often you see or talk with a person, or about shared memories and the feeling of knowing them in and out? There are those rare moments when even though you just met someone, you feel instantly close to them. As if you have met them in a past life. There also are those people that even though you rarely see them, still feel close. And whenever you meet again, it feels like time hasn’t passed. Allowing someone in and getting close also implies vulnerability, which can be scary and hard to be comfortable with sometimes. This editorial by Benjamin Vnuk beautifully delves into this with a series of intimate and delicate portraits.
