Skin-4: Sasha
Watch SKIN-4: SASHA, a short film exploring our living connection to ancestors created by figurative painter Zhenya Gershman, Oscar nominated filmmaker Carlos A. Hurtado, and renowned photographer Michele Mattei.
"As a midwife by profession, I am used to being a sort of guide as new souls enter this world to join the families they have chosen. I was curious to see what would happen when the image of my own ancestors would be painted on the skin of my nearly 9 month pregnant belly. I had no idea what an incredible impact this project was going to have on me.” Sasha Yamnik, subject of SKIN-4
