Framed It Like Art

Am I in the ocean? Am I in the museum? No! Lying on the floor, this lady transformed herself into a living exhibit. Gesine Marwedel painted a boat floating on the sea across the model’s skin, with butterflies hovering above the waters, their wings mimicking the pigments of the artist’s creativity.

With the frame, a boundary that elevates her body painting to museum-worthy art has been created, inviting viewers to engage with her as both art and canvas. In this moment, she is not merely presenting an image; she is the gallery, the curator, and the masterpiece, all in one. The photo was captured by Thomas van de Wall.
