Mous Lamrabat, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking portrait by photographer Mous Lamrabat captures a Black woman from the chest up against a clear blue sky. She wears two circular embroidered BMW logo patches directly over her eyes, serving as surreal eyewear. Her head is adorned with an elaborate headdress made of clustered white cowrie shells threaded together with dark beads, framing her face. A massive, densely layered collar necklace constructed entirely from white cowrie shells rests heavily across her shoulders and chest. The lighting is bright and direct, highlighting the textures of the polished shells and the rich tones of her skin. The composition is centered and frontal, creating a bold, conceptual visual statement.
