Title: I Only Undress for Meaning

Subtitle: On nudity, desire and what lies beneath

Blurb:

I Only Undress for Meaning is a visual and emotional journey through nudity, sex, and what lies beneath them.
These drawings speak of bodies not as objects, but as places where truth happens. Where shields fall. Where we stop performing and start existing.
In these pages, nudity is power. Sex is not just an act, but a metaphor for life: exposure, tension, connection, risk, desire, fear, pleasure. A moment where everything unnecessary disappears and only meaning remains.
In a world that still judges sex, hides bodies, and polices desire, this book chooses another language. One made of color, intimacy, irony, and honesty.
Sometimes playful, sometimes uncomfortable, often tender, these images remind us that being naked is not about being seen.
It’s about being real.
