Tera Patrick

Under the milky sky of an eternal afternoon, the light brushes the walls of an imagined refuge, perched between sea and sky. A white villa, suspended in time, somewhere along that Riviera where, in the 1920s, the elite of words and images fled the greyness of cities in search of southern warmth, postwar forgetfulness, and the first kiss of sun.

The morning light of a sultry day traces the silhouette of a woman made myth. Tera reclines on a wrought-iron bed dressed in soft ruffles and lace, her platinum bob catching the sun like silver threads. Every glance she casts over her shoulder is a silent invitation, her pose as deliberate as it is spontaneous.

Some silences sing. A warm light glides over red velvet, brushing against curves and catching the golden gleam of a gramophone.

Beneath the bright sun, the scene feels plucked from an Italian reverie. Tera Patrick, glowing and divine, indulges in a moment stolen from time.
