Lauryn Holmquist stars in this soul-searching editorial photographed by Collin Levin exclusively for C-Heads.
Titled 'How Real It Feels,' the editorial explores the existential crisis of the human condition. Levin explains that Holmquist is a vehicle for him to articulate his complex questions of existence, saying, "what better way [is there] to express myself than take some of my thoughts and project them onto a beautiful girl[?]”
The images are captioned with short pieces of text that express potent sentiments in just a few words. A shot of Holmquist looking morose in the bathtub is accompanied by the word "f*ck," for example, while another melancholy shot reads, "sometimes I think if we don't talk about it, it'll just go away."
