BEAUTY: Photography--Polixeni Papapetrou

Polixeni Papapetrou is an Australian photo-based artist who stages evocative scenes with costumed models. Part fairy tale, part mythology, they play like lost pages from The Brothers Grimm or unknown fables by Aesop. The pictures below are from her "Dreamkeepers" series created this year. I am such a sucker for images of human bodies with animal heads...
