Charles Fréger, Photographer, Paris

Description

A striking full-length portrait captured from behind by photographer Charles Fréger, depicting an individual submerged up to their ankles in the ocean surf. The central figure wears an elaborate ritualistic costume featuring numerous painted black prosthetic arms radiating outwards in a circular array, adorned with gold bands around the wrists. Long, dark, textured hair cascades down the back, intertwined with white floral garlands and surmounted by an ornate golden crown piece. The turquoise sea meets a pale, overcast sky at the horizon, while foaming white waves break around the subject's feet.
