I can dig it, but would have preferred to see blood.

In this scene I can see so many things embetted and hidden messages as well.
First the "Horror & Macabre" part which is obviously by the typical "vampire clichΓ©".
I would also see some artisan craft in it like cosplay as the people photographed are perfectly dressed and made up for the time period when Gothic Novels and vampire stories came en vogue. The first writer was Walpole with his "Castle of Otranto" in 1780 around and one of the last was Bram Stoker was his "Dracula" in 1897.
The title "Fragility" refers in my opinion to how fragile a life can be, how short a life's period is, a coming and going.
Many people might be distressed of the photo as they might interpret something sexual - but I do not. What I can read of the picture is something sensual, a love not fullfilled, even if forever, the person loved would not be the same. There is some yearning in it, too.
Some melancholy and sadness, but also some tenderness, a dark embrace.
What else? Here can also be interpreted people's fear of death as the vampire kiss always symbolizes the death for a human being. But a lot of people cannot cope with it as they not know what will await them - they are afraid, so they avoid anything that has to do with it. I see death as the freedom of my soul and of myself, to be nearer to God - so I do not mind.
Well, when having a closer look at the photo you can see the duality principle in it. The black (vampire) and the white (pure virgin lady). They are in tight embrace as one cannot be without the other. There will not be a light, when there will not be a shadow. They work on a symbiotic basis.
Keep up that great work
