This is a photograph of the ACE OF DIAMONDS

PLEASE NOTE: The four dots visible are reflections of the light. At the top, there are two Velcro stickers.

The Ace of Diamonds features an upper-body shot of a person with their back to the camera, painted sky blue all over. White-beige feathered wings cover their entire back, with a red rose running down their spine.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
