Kosei Kitada,

Description

Photographed by Katja Mayer for TWENTY Magazine's Parts Play editorial, this close-up image captures a pale hand fitted with dramatic, ultra-long red stiletto nails. The pointed tips lightly press into the surface of an inflated translucent white balloon. Shot against a solid black background, the composition uses focused directional light to heighten the contrast and surreal tension between sharp nails and fragile latex.
