“building humans” by Brooke Shaden

I was able to shoot this with the help of my husband, I had the remote in my hand while he poured red sand over my face, so the sand is not “faked”. If you could even tell it was sand heheh.

I really wanted to play with the idea here that humans can be built, re-made, or even de-constructed. The sheet as representation of flesh, the sand as representation of blood. - Brooke Shaden
