‘If only I would be a flower’ is the first vagina in history on the cover of Playboy, is a celebration of nature yet it is a longing to be celebrated for the beauty we naturally inhibit. It is a play with the edges of censorship and an anticipation for the freedom that is awaiting us.
Playboy Germany selected Marisa Papen as one of the 50 artists to art direct a cover for their 50th anniversary issue, that was released in July 2022.
Cover is a collaboration between model Marisa Papen, photographer Michael Chichi and digital artist Twistedpoly / Nejc Polovsak.
Final image consists of ‘Flower of Life’ image with addition of roughly 30000 digital flowers. This is animated version of the cover.
