In this striking work of art, the human body becomes a vibrant canvas through the technique of bodypaint, where the warm colors of gold and red evoke the light of the sun, symbolizing the god Ra. The figures of mummified slave girls, depicted with a touch of surrealism, emerge from the darkness, their bodies adorned with intricate patterns that tell stories of devotion and sacrifice.

The use of the photographic negative adds a unique dimension, transforming light into shadow and vice versa, creating a contrast that highlights the fragility and strength of these figures. In the image, the slave girls seem to dance in an ancestral ritual, their movements captured in an eternal instant, as if they were invoking the energy of the solar god. Each stroke of paint on their bodies tells a story of life and death, of worship and suffering, while the dark background suggests a sacred space, a temple where time stands still. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the duality of existence, the beauty in tragedy and the connection between the human and the divine.

It is a piece that is not only visually captivating, but also provokes deep contemplation about history, spirituality and art as a means of expression.
