Synthetic Eden — Cover

Synthetic Eden

Lavender-blue and oxblood pigments bloom across bare skin like bioengineered flora. Second-skin knits collide with crochet mutations that erupt from the body's silhouette, while a poreless, light-wet finish suggests beauty perfected under laboratory conditions. In this Eden, nature is a choice—not a given.

FAQ

Who photographed and styled the Synthetic Eden editorial?

Larissa Kreili photographed, Anéco Oblangata styled, and Felipa Damasco directed creatively. Artur Figueiredo created makeup, models Deise Nicolau and Enrico Cardoso starred, with Erick Diniz and Leandro Lopes assisting and producing the ambitious shoot.

What does the apple symbolize in Synthetic Eden?

The metallic apple reinterprets the fruit of desire as a recurring symbol. Stripped of natural essence and transformed into an object of artificial perfection, it reflects a world where temptation becomes refined, controlled, and aestheticized.

What themes does the Synthetic Eden editorial explore?

It examines tension between organic and artificial, showing beauty as intentionally constructed rather than natural. The editorial embraces contrasts—exposure versus protection, softness versus hardness, instinct versus design—questioning authenticity in contemporary aesthetics.
