The music changes, the lights flicker, and in walks Maia del Estal. Two models are standing in the middle of the room, looking at the crowd.
Maia del Estal begins painting the canvases that the models are wearing, filling the room with a presence that makes everyone hold their breath. Almost in a trance, she transforms the canvases, designed by Ciara Fitzgerald, into masterpieces. During the performance, the models tell a story of longing, of the search for a soulmate. They reach toward each other, trying to connect, but fail to do so—until the paintings are complete and they are meant to meet at the right moment. They join hands, the lights go off, and the crowd screams. This performance took place at Please Space Studios in Brooklyn, NY, conceived by German Creative Director Amelie Trimpl as the official launch of BUNT AGENCY, a New York City–based creative agency. The pieces are currently up for auction, with 50% of the proceeds from each piece going directly to Trans Lifeline, an organization that provides emotional and financial support to trans people in need. Receipts will be shared with buyers after purchase. The remaining 50% will go to the artist and designer.
