Art of Living Photo Series by Gray Malin
Photographer Gray Malin has created a new series titled Art of Living by installing iconic mid-century modern furnitures on the top of a 15ft by 15ft mirrored platform constructed in Bora Bora. This series challenges the viewer to question the conventional way in which we experience man-made design against the natural environment.

How did Gray Malin create the series Art of Living?
He first conceptualized a 15 foot by 15 foot mirrored platform and worked with local Polynesian engineers to construct it. Then, an archetypal selection of mid-century modern pieces were selected, sourced, and curated into 12 individual vignettes; placed atop the platform and cast along the sparkling French Polynesian waters, these vignettes were then photographed from a vantage point that presented the silhouette of Mount Otemanu as a perfectly symmetrical backdrop.

Gray Malin positions himself to compose the shot with the mountain as symmetrical as possible in the background.
The mirrored platform had carefully pulled out into the water, then a team member would dry off the platform as much as possible.
