UNDERWATER

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Light filters through as if submerged, casting a golden current across skin framed by seashells and plaited green strands that coil like deep-sea tendrils. In the opening frame a pale pink spiral shell rests against the cheek, while platinum hair is intricately woven with emerald and black fibres that mimic the texture of kelp forests. The second image overlays the face with a grid of transparent adhesive strips, segmenting the complexion into geometric parcels, behind which waves of cerulean tulle suggest underwater flora drifting in an invisible tide. Sidelight carves the profile in warm gold against a shadowed teal backdrop, amplifying the sense of oceanic depth. Styling transforms marine artefacts into wearable architecture, collapsing the boundary between human form and aquatic habitat. Makeup remains deliberately spare, allowing the skin's own sheen and topography to command attention, while the collaborative vision of hair artist Alina Artey and stylist Daria Litvinova anchors this surreal submarine tableau.
