“The nature of being”

A series drawing parallels between womanhood and forms and patterns found in nature.With aspects of the self materialized in nature, at the heart of this lies an inquiry into the complex relationship between our inner and outer worlds. By intertwining facets of science, nature, surrealism, and symbolism, I aim to vividly depict the ethereal, the introspective, and the liminal realms. How can we explore the female body without succumbing to the pitfalls of biological determinism? How can I visualize the wonders, limitations, absurdities, and expressions of womanhood in a way that is intimate yet universal?”
