WATER BASED

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Like a goldfish suspended in its bowl, a solitary figure occupies a pure white void, enclosed yet exposed. The off-shoulder sheer blouse—crafted by Giada Ramrera and Daniela Verardi—layers shirred tulle over open-work crochet, building a romantic weight that feels both fragile and deliberate. Orange eyeshadow sweeps across the lids in a colour-matched echo of the live goldfish visible through the spherical glass bowl, and Michele Finnanaro's makeup application bleeds like watercolour onto bare skin. Sara Borghetti's styling punctuates the ethereal palette with pink beaded jewellery and blocks of acid yellow at the wrist, plastic bracelets that ground the dreamlike composition in tactile detail. Soft, diffused light erases hard edges, allowing curls to float freely and the boundary between body and object to dissolve in a liquid, contemplative stillness.
