Virtue of Volume I reimagines the body as a mythic, ocean-born deity—radiant, powerful, and unapologetically expansive. In this striking photographic tableau, Rik Versteeg blends fantasy aesthetics with queer embodiment, transforming a plus-size figure into a luminous creature crowned with a sculptural shell and pearl. Through saturated colors, surreal light, and theatrical composition, the work celebrates volume, sensuality, and the beauty of bodies often erased from mainstream visual culture.
The piece invites viewers into a world where size becomes virtue, presence becomes power, and queer identity takes on cosmic form. Balancing myth, performance, and body-positive expression, Virtue of Volume I reflects Versteeg’s ongoing commitment to expanding the visual language of queer beauty.
