First Layer (Epidermis): Highlights surface-level experiences—identity, first impressions, and your journey to self-expression.
Second Layer (Veins and Arteries): Focuses on emotional undercurrents, connections with others, and life’s "circulation" of energy and love.
Third Layer (Muscles): Represents strength, endurance, and lessons learned through challenges.
Deepest Layers (Bone/Heart): Shares your core truths, passions, and resilience.
Bloom Within (Painting)
This body painting project draws inspiration from the vibrant and intricate art of Margherita Paoletti, known for her surreal and delicate compositions that celebrate femininity, nature, and interconnectedness.
