About the artwork

A macro shot shows a single, large lip in sensual close-up, without a face or other recognisable features, so that the focus is entirely on texture and light. The lip surface appears moist, as if it has just been moistened, and bears countless tiny drops of water that adhere to the skin like glittering pearls. Each drop reflects the ambient light, creating tiny highlights and tiny reflections that together form a sparkling mosaic of dots and lines. The skin of the lip shows the finest details: wafer-thin lines, subtle skin pores and the soft curvature of the lip are reproduced in razor-sharp detail, while the moist surface shows a delicate lustre that lends depth to the image. The light is soft and diffuse, emphasising the contours without harsh shadows and making the drops appear three-dimensional. The background is kept neutral and blurred so that there are no distractions; the image utilises a very shallow depth of field, leaving only the front lip area with precise clarity and gently blending the rest into the bokeh. The colours are dominated by warm shades of pink and coral, which are contrasted by the cool sparkle of the water. The overall effect is intimate and aesthetic, almost abstract: a study of moisture, light and surface that is both natural and artistic, inviting the viewer to explore texture and detail at their leisure.
