A thing of horror or pity

It was a creature of instinct. Is such a thing deserving of our horror or pity?

 

At the beginning of the month I transformed my sister into this Angler-fish-humanoid. The costume was designed to have the look of a transparent skin with skeletal elements jutting out. My husband assisted with the wiring components for the lit up chest-piece and dangle light. The wig was custom dyed and has the dangle light anchored to it (thank you to the wonderful ladies in the UB costume shop for troubleshooting with me!). My mother assisted in getting Laryssa into character on location. And of course, Laryssa was a such a wonderful muse and took on the uncomfortable and unflattering task of becoming this character.

 

Shoots like this take an incredible amount of time to prep and I'm thankful to everyone who helped in the process.
