Aerial

By PAP Magazine Editorial

White feathers sprout where lashes should be, extending in all directions from the eyelid in soft, frayed plumes. The close-up frame captures skin in unfiltered clarity — freckles, pores, and the warm undertone of natural complexion visible beneath diffused light. Lips are stained a gentle rose, while the overall palette remains grounded in beige, ivory, and the unretouched warmth of human skin. This beauty work by ENRIC FRADERA, Maria Garriga, and Taiga Tidenberga places organic matter — actual feathers — directly onto the face, transforming the eye into a hybrid form between human and avian. The editorial's title, Aerial, suggests both a creature suspended in mid-flight and a state of being that refuses to settle on one taxonomy. It is beauty stripped of commercial gloss, rendered instead as a study in metamorphosis.
