We are trying to capture the essence of what that alure is. Its mysterious... so powerful. But its there. I'm a very 'passionate artist' and I've never seen a woman so happy as she is when she is naked. Its that vibe... so I think mannequins are an extension of that. I own several I keep on my flat... its trippy. They almost come to life...
