Artist shows the truth behind the scenes, the artificial elements are being ridiculed as superficial images, which rather devaluates person’s individuality, than adding anything positive to it. Murka has tested the characteristic features of humans in her previous work, this time the analyze took her to a discovery, that most of the models were indeed pleased with the tan and wished to have the tan fully
