**The Beauty of Decay — Faces of the Undead** Death has taken their lives, but not entirely their beauty. Six African women, each at a different stage of the mysterious transformation from human to undead, reveal the haunting progression of a world where life has disappeared but something remains. Once-radiant skin begins to dry and crack, familiar expressions fade into unsettling stillness, and beautiful eyes slowly lose their living sparkle. Behind them, abandoned suburban streets, rusting cars, and deserted homes surrender to the relentless wind. Captured in stark black and white, this fictional documentary-style portrait series explores the disturbing contrast between feminine beauty and the merciless passage of decay, without blood or gore, leaving one haunting question: How much of the woman remains behind those lifeless eyes?
