Julia Paranagua's 'Espera' is a visually stunning set of images that follow a young woman's back throughout her house.

There is a series of words in different languages written on her back and as she goes throughout her house, the words begin to disappear. Julia Paranagua has done an incredible job at capturing not only the beauty in the words, but the interesting canvas the photographer sees and uses to her advantage.

**Implications** - Consumers in modern society are no longer trying to blend in with subtle styles. Products that feature a darker aesthetic appeal to those who are looking to stand out among their peers.
