«Sasja 90–60–90»

Like in «The Forest,» the work entitled «Sasja» shows a person before a white background, also seated on a piece of white furniture. In this image Lamsweerde maintains all of the formal qualities common to fashion photography. But the made-up, puppet-like appearance of the figure, and cool high-gloss aesthetics are what Lamsweer¬de twist in the greatest sense of the word, since the model is shown sustaining a physically impossible pose.
