Body art and a contortionists

Some really amazing body art work. At first the images are quite deceiving of their true form, a bit of an optical illusion. The photo first photo closely resembles a flamingo bird, there is a lot of attention to detail especially with the bird's leg on the woman. The white on white helps hide the fact that the flamingo's legs actually just been painted on the legs. The use of negative space helps keep focus on the flamingo as the focal point. The sharp contrast between the reds of the flamingo woman and the white background makes the centre piece stand out much more.

The image of the woman on the motorcycle is quite mind boggling. It consists of a group of people all twisted and turned to form a complex shape of the motorcycle, even though the final piece is not quite as subtle as the flamingo photo in terms of tricking the viewer into thinking the image is something it's not, the complexity of the work makes it quite a remarkable accomplishment.
