More Editions & Sizes: 27.55 in. H x 19.86 in. W

This striking artwork showcases a figure adorned with an eclectic blend of modern and tribal aesthetics. The subject's skin is smooth, creating a stark contrast with the elaborate facial tattoos that trace intricate patterns across their forehead. A mix of bold and delicate jewelry, including large hoop earrings and a statement neck piece, accentuates the figure's striking features. Their lips are a deep, saturated shade, adding drama to the composition. The eyes are uniquely styled, enhancing the otherworldly vibe. The black outfit, with its sheer, netted design, adds layers of texture, while the dark, swept-back hair completes the avant-garde look. This artwork uniquely combines elements of body art, fashion, and individuality, offering a powerful visual experience that challenges conventional beauty norms.

Léa Bon is an androgynous fashion and art photographer, with a unique, personal and spiritual body of work. At a young age, Léa Bon found in photography the means by which she could construct her own small worlds using her imagination. Her work breaks with the stereotypes of traditional photography and goes beyond the human eye; is a fusion between art, fashion and humanity, evoking surrealism, expressionism and hyperrealism. Dreams and fantasies from the past and present are portrayed by Léa Bon's subjects, which she uses like her own personal dolls. She has done multiple exhibitions about her life, among them “First Cycle-Innocent Vision", composed of 25 works of art that portray her personal journey.
