Description

A surreal black and white editorial tableau photographed by Michael Bailey Gates for Sixteen Journal's Places of Worship project. In the foreground, a model lies recumbent on a dark mat wearing a detailed mermaid tail tied with rope and bearing a tag. Standing in the background, Michael Bailey Gates wears eyeglasses and dark briefs while holding a circular ring frame. The outdoor terrace setting features a draped black backdrop, a balcony railing, trees, and scattered props including a broom and a small bowl.
