An Introduction

Josephine

Edith Piaf's "Non, Je ne Regret Rien" billows from a third floor lavender-lined window. Casually traipsed against a Provincial blue door, hair disheveled, hand lax, Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" nearly falls to the ground. Slate hued lingerie evokes a bodice in the 1930s. As she grows bored with the day, nighttime tempts.

Surrounded by provincial stones and artifacts, face framed by sleek hair and dark sunglasses, she’s keenly aware of the gaze she summons. Josephine embodies the modern woman, conscious of decades past, yet with a stare sternly fixated on the unknown. She steps in to a 1937 Aston Martin, vanishing with barely an embrace goodbye.
