LINE (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The thin space which meets both sides, the bad & good, white & black, two opposites which live together yet are so different.
LINE is the border line between two different worlds. In my eyes LINE is a metaphor of our world. Through my abstract photographs
I want to highlight the thinness of difference between these worlds.
Can we really see the beauty of one side without meeting the other one? The white is never white without black and opposite.
I created the visual illusion on human bodies by painting dark parts on their bodies copying lines of the background.
There is no software manipulation in the photographs. Only bodypainting.
