Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2024 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The art of veiling
A photographic study that deals with the "second skin". The female body is wrapped in an elastic fabric that is both protective and a kind of prison. It is constricted by the fabric and at the same time expands, creating unusual dynamic structures. In the monochromatic representation, the shapes are characterized by strong contrasts, the body, the expressiveness of movement and pose are emphasized.
