Hungarian photographer Bence Bakonyi has created a series of dream-like photographs that shows people suspended in mid air in lavishly decorated old buildings.

Against beautiful backdrops that feature grand chandeliers and rich marble floors, the floating figures may appear to be lost and helpless but their relaxed postures suggest that they are actually “floating in a surreal freedom of their own making”.

Odds are, if you were raised in a Western culture, you think of emotions as largely private events. you locate them within a person’s boundaries, confined within their mind and skin. When conversing about emotions, your use of singular possessive adjectives betrays this point of view. You refer to ‘my anxiety,’ ‘his anger,’ or ‘her interest.’ Following this logic, love would seem to belong to the person who feels it. Defining love as positivity resonance challenges this view. Love unfolds and reverberates between and among people — within interpersonal transactions — and thereby belong to all parties involved, and to the metaphorical connective tissue that binds them together, albeit temporarily. … More than any other positive emotion, then, love belongs not to one person, but to pairs or groups of people. It resides within connections.
