Body of Love


The 56th day of Childwinter is Body of Love. How do you visually depict "Body of Love" without resorting to nudity, pornography, or cliched exploitation of women? Or of men?

Most AI image generators forbid nudity and block anything they deem unacceptable. There are some porno models specifically designed to produce nude images, but the results are almost always banal, cliched, and exploitative, seemingly intended for horny 15-year-old boys. In any event, my concept of "Body of Love" isn't necessarily D-cup boobs.

Can Body of Love be depicted as an abstract black-and-white study in the manner of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams?

Or should it be shown as a romantic portrait of lovers in the embrace of passion?


Perhaps we should take a broader look at love, beyond human intimacy and into the realm of the spiritual.


Or perhaps it shouldn't be depicted at all, at least not with AI, but left to the poets and musicians to interpret through their artistic means.
