The Naked Alphabet by Artist Anastasia Mastrakouli

Through the art of photography Greek artist Anastasia Mastrakouli creates unique typography by incorporating the bare human figure. These naked silhouettes form gestures to create each letter of the alphabet as they interact and press against the pane of wet glass. The identities of the figures are obscured by the surrounding water and panel adding symmetry to the overall appearance of the letters. Mastrakouli's work exposes the connection between typography, art, and the human figure in a new and unique way. See more after the jump!
