This series of photos shows the physical and emotional distance between two people that are struggling to express their love for each other. We always say that hugs are the closest that we can get in the form of physical distance with our loved ones, but if we can't express our love emotionally, the physical distance doesn't appear as how it seems. So close, yet so far away. The reason why I chose to do this shoot during the golden hour is also because the golden hour has one of the most beautiful form of sunlight but yet, the length of time is so short, just like life itself.
