Luisa Lukic: Short Life of a Beautiful Girl Through Amazing Photos

These amazing photos as a photo story from Elly Lukic that show a part of the life of Luisa Lukic (1966-1990), her half-sister. She was a beautiful girl, but had a short tragic life. 

“She was the only child of my father and his first wife Snezana (no relation to me). Although I have no memory of my oldest sister, I feel as if a part of me is missing, like I've lost a twin. I've been told we're a great deal alike, both in appearance and demeanor.”

Luisa Lukic (1966-1990)

“The last photo was photographed months before her death. Luisa became withdrawn, dyed her hair a desperately hopeful orangish-blonde shade, and lost a ton of weight. You can see the wear in her face. Another casualty of clinical depression.”

Here is the photo story...
