A SKIN UPON A SKIN: THE SHADOW VEIL
What does it mean to cover the face, not with fabric, but with the shape of a hand? To hide not from shame, but in defiance — in ritual, in style, in power? This new chapter in “Skin upon a Skin” becomes a shadow play of identity, where touch is both concealment and creation. Each face is cloaked in another’s gesture — or perhaps their own — suggesting the infinite ways we mask, mould, and mythologise the self. These aren’t disguises. They are declarations. Sculptural silhouettes cast across the shimmering skin like spells, reframing beauty not as revelation, but as an act of deliberate opacity. In this unfolding skin-upon-skin continuum, visibility is no longer assumed. It is earned. Or withheld. And in that withholding, a new power takes shape — masked, mirrored, magnificent.
