The history of nudity involves social attitudes to nudity in different cultures in history. It is not known when humans began wearing clothes, although there is some archaeological evidence to indicate that clothing may have become commonplace in human society around 72, years ago.

In the artist's experience, such an artistic collaboration between two female artists is a deeply personal experience that requires equal doses of trust and abandon.

For her series " Pheromone Hotbox ," Charchian ventured to remote and surreal natural landscapes around the world, including parts of Cuba, California's Death Valley, the Mediterranean island of Corsica, Morocco and Costa Rica.
