"She wears her Fleur de Lys tattoo like Milady in The Three Musketeers. Fearless, fierce, fatal." - Brandusa Niro
Carla 1 is depicted in a seated, contemplative pose, her long, slender limbs folded beneath her. The earthy, muted tones of the background contrast with the model’s dark, vibrant hair and the subtle pink accents on her swimsuit, particularly the bold stripe and the distinctive tattoo-like symbol on her thigh. Her intense gaze and pink lips draw the viewer's attention, conveying a sense of inner strength and quiet defiance. The model’s vulnerable, yet strong, posture invites reflection on themes of self-expression, resilience, and the complexities of femininity, all while maintaining a sense of grace and poise in the midst of an imposing environment.
