Melanie Ludwig
hit me up, when you're building a log cabin

A soft touch, permissive to meatless appetizers, embracing dangling berries. Stretched canvases depicting just enough deciliters to linger your lusts for love. Knowing that our vices in life beat so much faster than we sometimes want them to, Melanie Ludwig lets us in with a resting heart rate of 40 bpm.

While the opposite of gravitational happiness feels juuuust right by mooning sun-kissed buttocks, a grim fate lures with intense eyes. Why are we so obsessed with hiding and eager to show it simultaneously? I love a good hug. I tremble without it. Fierce without motion, bold within. Soft with the hard as hard with the yoghurt.

Sensitive without making sense. Wouldn’t that be amazing? - Lars Nordby
