Description

This editorial image from the Bottoms Up project, shot by photographer Zoe Natale Mannella with fashion styling by Monika Tatalovic, features a surreal visual composition set outdoors in a public park. A person stands positioned directly behind a dark bronze statue, creating an optical illusion where the upper body of the statue merges with the lower half of the living subject. The lower body of the person is clad in a bright red skirt or cover, with bare legs and black heeled shoes visible beneath, framed against green grass and mature trees in the background. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, highlighting the contrast between the metallic patina of the sculptural torso and the vibrant fabric below.
