THE WARRIORS WITHIN COLLECTIVE

This image is about a journey of transformation from Maiden to all-seeing Mother, or the Life/Death/Life Cycle of being, of manifestation, of transcendence. The thread of life, that which links this world to the other world and all beings, links consciousness to the thread of one's soul and to one's body ...

This piece is actually a self-portrait and is a visual representation of the battle that I sometimes go through in dealing with social anxiety, having to compose myself on the outside while screaming on the inside to get out of some of the environments that may make me feel uncomfortable. This has also reached a broader meaning when it comes to living as a black person in America, especially in the wake of our current social climate. We all have to go about our days and carry on but inside we are all frustrated and angry about what is happening and has continued to happen to our people of color.

My work reflects the inner experiences we as humans face as we grow throughout the course of our life.

Reflecting on my own childhood and adult life, I'd often find myself drifting between friends and relationships, struggling to fully find a sense of belonging and a stable place to plant my roots. For that reason...

The Hatchling series was a project that ultimately took over a year to come to fruition. In part this was due to prop creation; the egg featured in the series was created from scratch, fashioned from chicken wire, cardboard, and paper mâche. However, I first conjured the idea for the series during a time in my life that was marked by significant trauma and loss....

 I really like to work with complex light, light is a tool and light is the basis of the plot of any shooting. With the help of light on my set, the character (model) captures ...

 These are photo-levitations, all taken in real-time. Everything you see in the picture was in the frame during the shooting. The backgrounds...

 A lot of my art is geared towards women. We are Goddesses and I want for us to wake up and realize our worth physically, mentally, sensually & spiritually. I want to help you embrace your divine femininity. And as I create every piece of art...

 By being womb carriers, we are blessed with the sacred ability to create new life from scratch. Whether we chose to or not, or in aligned health to do so or not - that's another story - but the divine fact is...

 Through the superimposition of images that digital work offers me, I question what is "fashionable or not" and the sense of appropriation that this culture has, which is constantly changing. I am not only based on the image culture from fashion, but I am also interested in ideologies, studying lifestyles and social groups, where social networks have become the most...

 I love portraying powerful women that are in touch with their instincts, in harmony with nature and everything that surrounds them. When it comes to art, my deepest desire is ...

 After my child was born, I lost myself in the initiation of motherhood. Initiations generally mean that you are presented with a set of challenges that if you overcome them, you are reborn into a new role/self. I looked around for inspiration and symbolism to inspire me while trying to redefine my new self. Motherhood can be indescribably hard...

For women, beauty cannot disappear, it is multifaceted and only facets change with age, but a woman is born already beautiful. I really love comparing women with flowers, since you will never find the same rose or tulip... 

 You don’t search for something you already have. 

You cannot be who you truly are until you can remember, what you already know. Upon the remembering, the ancestors will be able to intervene in all the good ways they can.  That includes helping you with all the things you cannot know about until you have allowed yourself to be swallowed in the awakening of remembering, your wildish sacred nature, a  woman. The wild woman is an endangered species, and more necessary now than ever.  Remembering means...

 My surrealist language is free from reason and it takes the photographic medium out of its conventional objective role, offering bizarre realities that often invite interpretation. With visual delicacy, dreamy atmosphere, and disturbing charge as ingredients, I distort and bend the idea of beauty, fusing it with a sense of the grotesque....

 As the rocks are washed, a little more is shown to us. The women before us have taken the harshest waves and we can see the lines, we can see the way, now to go the way with compassion and trust. This is the present woman’s healing. To deepen the lines of love for future women. 

Whilst we carry many forms of passed-down energy in our present adult lives, we are born worthy, ready,  full of creation and magic...

Is the thing that you’ve been avoiding, gone? Or is it just staying where it is?

You will find yourself answering these questions without any doubt, that it stays.

Because problems come to our life for us to solve them,

It is meant to build us stronger and wiser.

How long have we been hiding? Months maybe years?

It is time for us to embrace it and conquer it....

My name is twilight. My name is haze. My name is sun in September. My name is dew on the grass in the early morning. My name is nothing and my name is everything. Combinations of reflections and light touches of something you can never reach...

 In the series of pictures "Hostile of life" I would like to depict human failure, the expansion of nature and our earth, as well as the fragility, fears, and vulnerability of humanity. We should all be more aware of ourselves and our nature...

 Para mí la fotografía no es sólo una profesión o una fuente de ingresos, es la mayor forma de expresión que existe sin necesidad de utilizar palabras y la mejor vía de escape para mentes creativas. ..

 As the world undergoes this massive transformation, it is important that we dive deep into who we are, the warriors within us (holding our greatest powers), and the creative resources that help us navigate them. ..

These self-portraits are about accepting oneself in terms of our most basic identity: our human identity. The primary colors--a metaphor for our basic humanity--are enough to generate the entire spectrum of colors, just as it is only our innate humanness that is needed to love and experience the rich spectrum of life. I use the elements of Cubism to invite the viewer to see...
