Lena Kholkina lensed 'Cheap Thrills' for the Ones2Watch. The editorial featured concepts of classical adornment with modern embellishments.

Her extreme innocence is darkened by the motif of the evidently fake adornments. In one shot she is marked with a third eye, suggesting naivety and suspicion.
