Few months ago, we were approached by a young man who had a curious request for body painting.

When I met him, he showed me news clips and newspaper clippings from Brazil as he shared his story.

He started telling me, “That’s my dad… and that’s my mom getting arrested … after she arranged my dad’s death.”

This man wanted to do a body painting that shares his story then go around NYC to tell his story.

His initial purpose was to generate some publicity so the authority would investigate the case further and punish his mom for her crime.

However, as we discussed the project more, we decided to go a different route. We decided to use his story as a starting point for conversations to engage and inspire others to continue fighting for what they believe in.

This is the video of the making of and some of the pictures of his interaction with people in NYC when he shared his story with them
