Beauty or the Beast ?


It’s not what you look at
It’s what you see.

It takes profound imagination and original mind to see beyond the theatrical, to understand deeper meaning of artistic work. Although these images explore the beauty, rawness and humor that sexuality entails – an act of standing naked in body, as well as in spirit, and requiring no shelter of herd which others seek to be safe from ridicule is way more than that – it’s the result and sum of one’s fundamental convictions. For many this behavior is impervious to reason, but, in fact, It’s visualization of one’s entire philosophy of life.

One of greatest acts of human courage is to open yourself up to the world, demonstrate exactly who you are, do exactly what you desire, without the need for validation approval or understanding in return. Nakedness reveals, reminds us of our long forgotten innocence and pulls us out of the hopeless swamp of the appropriate, the careful, the proper. It encourages us to embrace spontaneous impulse of the heart and explore the extra ordinary freedom to do the different and often seemingly unnatural, the freedom that is the most salient feature of human nature.
