“Victoria is fire in its purest form. She doesn’t ignite—she burns.
A Colombian designer and entrepreneur, passionate about art and energy. After several failed attempts, we finally met in Bogotá—a layover that fate turned into an excuse to capture her essence.
This series of images is an ode to her duality: a volcano’s force and a candle’s fragility. A mouth of fire, lips that sear, and whispers that smolder.
The sun spills into the room, slipping over her golden skin. Until now, it was just another space—now, it’s burning in silence. There are no flames, but still, it burns. It burns in the golden reflections seeping through the curtains, in the heavy air thick with heat.
The hotel room still holds traces of her. It smells of nostalgia, of cold coffee abandoned on the nightstand, of lipstick rolling under the bed. The sheets still cradle the shape of a body that’s no longer there.
The scent of her perfume on the pillow.
Steam lingering on the mirror.
The weight of her absence in the air.
When she leaves, the room is never the same. It looks untouched, but fire has passed through it. No visible ashes, yet everything inside—the walls, the bed, the silence—has been consumed by her memory.”

The issue delves into the art of slowing down, celebrates the joy of crafting, invites you to feel the freedom from society’s temporal constraints, and captures the alluring sentiment that everything looks more beautiful under the sun.
