Adeline Mai in her series "Embraced at the dawn of summer" [J'ai Embrasse L'Aube d'été] focuses on pairs of naked lovers, glued to the point of being practically inseparable. Empty backgrounds, with soft blacks and whites, along with intertwined figures in the foreground, create the impression of solitude and silence, as if time and space has stopped for lovers in these moments of pure intimacy where they lose identity and merge, which gives the images a striking sense of tenderness.
