Paint is temporary. Photography is not. That is the contract.

A body painter works for hours. Layer after layer, pigment on skin, breath held against a living canvas that sweats, trembles, gets tired. The result lasts one evening — maybe a few hours under studio lights if someone remembers to call a photographer.

This is that call. Not documentation. Not a backstage record. A second work built on top of the first, with different rules. The painter controls color. I control light. The body belongs to neither of us.

What you see is a collaboration between three people who had no script. Skin accepted the brush. The brush accepted the pose. The camera accepted whatever happened when both forgot it was there.
