Erotic pose 26

To me this pose is very anti-erotic. Actually I think that was the intent. At best it’s more of a pose for a medical exam. But I think it’s much, much, darker. The message is “you can take my body, but not my soul. “ We can’t see her face. In fact she has strenuously blocked access to anything except dark holes. It’s sad and disturbing. Even more disturbing is this is real life for many women in the world.

I like the juxtaposition: strength, from the barbell-like grip on the heels; with the eroticism from the explicitness.

Playing with juxtapositions is fun exploration and reason in itself. Amusing and refreshing.

Execution is masterful, no distractions, strong symmetric composition and lighting crafted to define both shapes and surfaces.
