Reinventing the feminine
A research in different ways of being a woman and processes of transition in states of being. The feminine is approached as an abstract principle as an energetic possibility and as a physical quality.
Different media are used and are often mixed.
The colours are significant carriers of meaning.
The presence of red, orange and, or purple represents the possibility to be clearly present in an embodiment and able to unify heaven and earth, good and evil. This implies the acceptance of more dark experiences like a polluted nature and the presence of personal trauma's.
While the colours of gold and green represent a state of pureness, unity with nature where trauma's and darkness do not exist. It is an approach of the original natural design of being and fully functioning. Blue can be present in both states and represents purification.
Black is equal to not having the possibility to see, it is neutral in itself. But without black dark experiences are not possible.
The project is aiming to revive and represent a trauma free state of being a woman. Realising this is a process of remembering and cellular reorganisation. The transgenerational history of trauma's has left traces in physical tissues and organs and in the way cells are connected. The cells have to remember their original configuration. And a process of unification is needed.
