I'm not entirely sure how I came upon Nicole Tran Va Bang's work, but it was on one of those prolonged surfing/researching sessions. When I saw it I was struck by the beauty and of the images and was immediately reminded of a friend and her interest in body mod and tattooing.
Playing with people's perceptions of their bodies and the ways in which the body can be 'altered'. Nicole Van Ba Trang's shows more than just beautiful women, her un-traditional way of capturing a traditional subject (the nude) is thought provoking and witty.
