Mango is a series created by Alina Gross in collaboration with body painter Vanessa Hitzfeld. Throughout the series, the central figure is artfully depicted as a mango, inviting viewers to either embody the mango or indulge in its essence. The narrative intertwines themes of longing, self-acceptance, transformation, and offers a fresh perspective through the lens of the female gaze.
