Description
Photographed by Jose Carvajal for Sicky Magazine, this portrait from the project Skin As Artifact showcases an experimental beauty concept. The subject features slicked-back wet-look hair and dense, multicolored micro-glitter applied across the face. Both hands are held close to the chest, adorned with an assortment of sculptural gold rings and bands, including a pearl accent. Shot in low-key chiaroscuro lighting, deep shadows define the contours of the face against a dark seamless backdrop.
