There is something deliciously perverse about a body made unreadable. In Untouched, flesh becomes surface, glamour hardens into armor, and desire arrives through sheen, silhouette, and refusal rather than access.
As photographer Damian Pfattner puts it:
“This project explores the body as a space of transformation, where identity and perception shift. Covered in reflective silver, the surface blurs the line between human and object, creating something that feels both present and untouchable.”
That tension is the project’s central seduction.
And perhaps that is where the image opens into something mythic. Is there a Kali inside every woman—not ancient, but recoded for 2026? In Untouched, she appears in chrome instead of blood, latex instead of garlands, dressed in Morph Studio, adorned with PEARL OCTOPUSS.Y, and reshaped through a Lion Busch look made for dance, ritual, and metamorphosis. She does not need to bare her teeth to terrify; she can do it through stillness, surface, and the immaculate discipline of image.
