Observations

The style uses stark black-and-white photography with strong window backlighting, deep shadows, visible grain, and selective softness. Repeated figures in flowing white dresses occupy a decaying interior, creating cinematic, dreamlike, and surreal scenes with ghostly movement and fragmented reflections.
