Ayla El-Moussa’s Body of Water represents a masterful fusing of the power of photography and film to capture the essence of nature, intimacy and the sensuality of the female form. Body of Water exemplifies the singular visual language seen throughout Ayla’s many sought after NFT artworks. Marked by an aesthetic that is equal parts edgy and sexy as it is transcendent and mediative, Body of Water perfectly highlights Ayla’s self-described “visual philosopher” role.

“I grew up in the misty hills of a biodynamic farm in the middle of nowhere Canada… with no access to anyone but myself, I became my own muse and it was in nature that I began to fully realise my love for the female form and its deep connection to the power of nature.”
