A Fascinating Photo Project About The Reflection We Want To See In The Mirror
It’s human nature to desire and, at the same time, be afraid of change. But as technology becomes more advanced, we now have a great opportunity to contemplate changes in our appearance without worrying that the consequences will be permanent.
