In “Young and Beautiful,” Lana Del Rey asks the age-old question “Will you still love me / when I’m no longer young and beautiful?” Inspired by this theme and the fragmented portraits of artist Michael Mapes, the young woman’s expression is meant to capture the innocence of young love even as the physical body “fades” away.
