Photographer Ronit Bigal Captures Body Calligraphy

Israeli artist Ronit Bigal creates striking sepia toned digital photography of bodies covered in bold black calligraphy and other delicate ornamentation.

Bigal’s work was shown at the Artists House in Tel Aviv in 2010 and is featured on Saatchi Gallery. See more after the jump!
