(Because of my cheap little android phone & my limits in computer ability, I can't bring these images over.)

snip--"Using fluorescent body paint and ultraviolet light, photographer Mikael Owunna's latest work aims to transform the black body into "the cosmos and eternal." The images evoke celestial beings, magical and otherworldly.

But the concept for the project, Infinite Essence, was sparked by frustration and exhaustion."


I found this artist on tumblr & was dumbstruck by the beauty of these images.


These 2 images-Kinya, 2017, & Uche, 2019, are almost representations of the galaxy being created.
