Description ~ I know you're in there somewhere ~







Model: Megan Solomon, New Zealand

Favorite comment to date: This is incredibly beautiful and for some reason I'm touched by every element of it! From the subject matter (genius - wish I'd thought of it) to the subtleties of painting (the green glow reflected on her white dress).. the best thing I've seen in a long time! anna15

Such an amazing idea, and you did a great job to illustrating it! that sort of greenish looking skin actually works very well in this piece, since it is neutral and brings out the iris.

Conceptually genius! eye catching colours (ironic) that work well with such a great idea.

well constructed and put together, and the position of the model is perfect, as if she is about to climb on in there to look.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then I am certain many wish to see your eyes, to know where you get these ideas.

A fantastic peice of art cleverly done that is relevant and true to a common saying.

Amazing!
