Julie trades her clothes in exchange of body paint for a day. Her whole body will be painted with a t-shirt and jeans.
The work was done by Pashur, a professional body painter. He claims that body painting is a form of interactive art whereas the work comes to life as it is was painted in a live canvas.
Even though this is only for a day, Julie is having second thoughts. Back in high school, she was insecure of her body after performing in a play. The people are talking about the cellulite on her legs which made her doubt if she really is beautiful. This created a whole in her heart thinking that if she is sexier then the people would not treat her that way.
After the painting was done, Julie was asked to walk around her colleagues to see how they would react towards her new outfit that was made of paint.
The people around her didn’t notice it right away. It took them 15 seconds to realize that she was not wearing any jeans and shirt at all.
This project made a huge impact on the life of Julie. It taught her a very valuable lesson.
“Going out wearing only body paint is similar to having insecurities. You feel naked or you feel all these negative things about yourself that no one else sees, and no one else understands,” Julie said.
“Sometimes you over-think things and you don’t wanna do things because you’re scared of what others are gonna think. Be strong and do not listen to what other people say. And do not let it matter so much because it doesn’t,” she added.
