Australian Jane Long decided to brush up on her retouching skills when she stumbled across an archive of old works by Romanian Costica Axinte online. This is how a series of collages called "Dancing with Costica" appeared. Working simply for the soul, Jane was able to breathe a fairy tale into old photos and give them a new story, giving worn pictures a second life filled with magic.
