Beyond Faith

By PAP Magazine Editorial

A full-body white lace bodysuit clings to the skin, while two thick black braids fall past the knees and trail along the floor. Red eyeshadow bleeds across pale eyelids, the downcast gaze both devotional and defiant, set against a soft gradient of sky blue that makes the figure appear suspended in air. Featuring the work of Lex Merico, Felipe Wallis, Brazil Raina, Brittney Latto, Josh Eskridge, Vault Place, and Faith Hartwig, this editorial reimagines religious iconography through secular textures. The floral lace covering the entire body dissolves the boundary between purity and desire, creating a duality in which the sacred and the carnal coexist within a rigorously clean tonal palette. Light here is bare and unforgiving, stripping away any sentimentality from the devotional pose.
