VIVA LA VIDA, VIVA EL DESEO — No. 08

VIVA LA VIDA, VIVA EL DESEO celebrates appetite as part of being alive.

Surrounded by flowers, color, and unapologetic presence, she reaches for pleasure without hesitation. The vivid donut interrupts the monochrome portrait not as a guilty indulgence, but as an affirmation of desire — something to be experienced rather than hidden.

Part of the DESIRE BEHIND series, this work embraces the idea that beauty is not found in restraint alone. To live fully is to feel, to want, to taste.
