I think I like this the most of the six. A great series, glamorous contrasts between the dresses and the darkness and expressive poses as if from a surrealist psychodrama or the circus - instantly accessible and sleek, yet evocative, very well done! I also love the different sort of models used - reminds me of graphic novels in the portrayal of archetypes by both the gestures and differences in how they look. The tension makes the images very interesting.

I really like this picture between Deceit and Truth, Mostly because in this world how many people do you see tell the truth or how much do you belive the truth before it becomes Deceit. Either way that is my personal oppion. :I But i really like it keep up the good work <3

I think the redhead is deceit; she's "blinding" the truth.

Though it is sad to see the virtuous elements in this series overcome, I am absolutely in love with it overall. The portrayals of each are nailed in body language, the use of eye contact, and expression.

It did, my mind traced out stories of each the characters, and how things had spiraled down to this point. When did the line break, what was the last straw, in these pictures for the light? How has this struggle between light and dark manifested in my life, as well as others?
Very thought provoking pieces overall. Really good work, when an artist can make the world pause and muse.
