Source - A DAREDEVIL Playboy model whose stunts have caused outrage around the world has plunged to new depths - to swim with man-eating sharks.
Marisa Papen dived naked off the coast of Hawaii to get up close and very personal with the terrifying marine predators.
The Belgian beauty said she put her life on the line to challenge the taboos surrounding sharks as well as nudity.
The 28-year-old is no stranger to danger and is infamous for stripping off at some of the world's holiest sites.
She made headlines around the world when she was imprisoned for posing nude at the Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt.
The "shock model" has also stripped at The Vatican, the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, and Istanbul's Hagia Sophia mosque. ...
And she revealed her risky photoshoots in the past were far more frightening than coming face-to-face with the sharks. ...
Papen said she hoped to challenge taboos by making people rethink their ideas about nudity and sharks.
She said: "The message is all about breaking stigmas and taboos, nudity is seen as bad in our society, and so are sharks.
I'm tempted to go on pontificating about the marriage of art and nature. About how, in the right hands, the aesthetic of photography can take the naked form can reveal things about humanity and our place in the world. Or about the role that models play in our lives, capturing the essence of what it means to be human. The risks that they take in revealing themselves in their purest form. And how I came to admire their vocation while taking an art class in college where our fellow students would model nude for us to draw.
I could, but I won't. No one clicked here for any of that. This is one of those times when you let the artist's work speak for itself.
Courage, thy name is Marisa Papen. I only wish she'd make her Instagram account public. Anyone willing to risk so much for her craft deserves followers.
P.S. On a side note, a buddy of mine met the actress who swims naked and gets eaten at the beginning of "Jaws." And he asked her if she realizes on the Blu-Ray you can totally see up in her business. She was less than pleased.
