Hanne’s face gives off great expressions, emoting like a creature of flight. Morgane Martini creates a wingspan that covers the lids and beyond, capturing the illusion of flight. Graphic shapes seize the orbital field, highlighting the body of the bird. Dynamic colors extend beyond the border of the brows, as this eye sanctuary comes alive. In one of the most exciting expressions captured, a diagonal line runs up/over the brow creating a tail-like effect. A Teal-blue hue circles the lids, leaving rich magenta & deep purple to be displayed in graphic format. Vibrant yellow is cast across the upper lid, while purple circles the entire eye and flies out the sides. The look is utterly captivating. There’s something unique about the vivid nature of these images, that give the illusion of a live are installation. Like paint being sprayed, you forget you’re looking at simple shadows, and pretend you’re viewing a multi-dimensional palate.
