Malgosia Bela embodies a modern day Aphrodite in ‘The Retina Not the Pearl‘ by Thomas Lohr for 032c. So perfect as if cut in stone… Malgosia’s curves have a mind of their own. The statuesque beauty morphs into a version of the past, appearing chiseled in stone as if to last. UK’s top special effects provider, FBFX, created a life-size 3D printed double of Bela, providing a sculptor copy of this rare beauty. There are few models that could achieve what Malgosia has, her transformation from human to sculpted figure is seamless. This story celebrates the curves of the body. Art is a reflection of humanity and humanity a reflection of artistry. Here we see this captured in vivid time. Behind the scenes elements makes us feel like we are inside this panoramic pictorial event. A gorgeous Goddess from another era. Evoking the Aura of Venus de Milo, She Enters the Page Like Aphrodite In Waiting.

Marc Goehring celebrates style with fashions that are all about the feeling. Tempting us with tactile textures that highlight sensuality. Fashion is nothing more than a series of touchable fabrics. A feast for the eyes. This visual impact is amazing as scintillating images provide a sensory overload. The shape of Bela is breathtaking. The curves of her body works in double time, to cover them up would be a crime. Patrick Glatthaar relies on the bones of Malgosia’s fine features to carry this story forward. Allowing the naked angles to open the conversation. Unafraid to let the skin speak, he uses the face as a platform as sorts. Capturing our attention, this unique makeup choice draws us deeper into the story. Here beauty isn’t something to just admire it’s something to understand. It’s the degree to which we are engaged in a full way. Art is a never ending adventure. It allows the viewer to invest their own sense of spirit and space. This is a celebration of the body beautiful.

Body language is a powerful source of expression. The limbs work as an extension of the expressive center. Body motions are a way to indicate. To evoke is to evolve. What we are witnessing is a sense of synergism. The emotive avenues are connected to the physical forms. Thereby introducing the idea of linked energy. Opening the mind to the idea of interplay. Free-flowing existence is the future. That’s to say, there is no beginning and no end, only the continued aspect of movement. To think about the consequences of such a reality. If we could just allow a portion of this possibility to rise to a state of significance, thereby honoring the doctrinal didactic.

Like a choreographed piece presented in forward fashion so is the architecture of this artistry. Steve Brockman, a Personal Trainer from England, gives a hyper masculine version, if only to expose the purity of Bela’s passion. His energy seems to embody an opposing position. One that neither elevates or diminishes the glow of her inner gorgeous. Outta this world, our Venus is literally above it all. Amidst a flash of futuristic camera equipment, we see Bela. Her signature speaks over stone as she stands in striking pose. Holding one elbow up directed straight to the sky, while her other arm is gently parked over the upper thigh. Like dueling poses, these two appendages have a distinct role. One arm, held up in defiant resilience, ready to fight. The other an open proposal for any who wants a soft hand. Subtly speaks in sweeping gesture as power resonates over all. Her Peacefulness is Free.

Burrow down into the hole of humanity and there we will find our inspiration to thrive. Pretty plays but a small part, as this is the becoming of the body beautiful. The woman’s journey begins. Here at the crossroads of cultural anarchy, we stop to breathe in the past as we reach to grab a hand of the future. We Are Evolution In the Making… Progress in Process. We Are a Thought Provoking People. We Are a Picture of What Has Yet to Become and What is All but Done. We Are Everything and We Are None.

Malgosia makes a natural transition from flesh & bone to that of stone. Perfect features are captured in statuesque form, as Special Effects allows us the opportunity to take the conceptual leap. The eyes engage and where they’ll roam, as her curves seem to have a mind of their own. Calming Beauty set amidst digital chaos. The camera equipment is much less assaulting than I would imagine. Humanities binding properties connect us. Her distinct features are full and completely realized. She is a force like no other. Fiercely Female. Her Spirit is Strong, ever reaching beyond the bounds of beauty. She is all Woman. Much like I imagine the original Goddess. We Honor Our Sister Warrior. The fluidity of the feline spirit is clear as our all fears but disappear. Malgosia is The Mighty Aphrodite.

 Maya Angelou Says is Best…

It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me…
