In a private, intimate ritual, a devotee of the bloated belly pays homage. The camera pans over the swollen stomach, the skin taut and shiny with oil. A delicate hand gently rubs and kneads the flesh, tracing the curve of the bloated belly. The navel, a deep, dark well, is emphasized, as the hand slides down, stuffing more of the engorged tummy into the frame. The viewer is drawn into the intimate, almost spiritual, connection between the worshipper and the bloated, oiled belly.
