Last weekend to catch our ‘Escapism’ show, featuring conceptual photographs by three talented artists:




Despite the location and cultural environment that separate people, the search for their place in society and who they are remains of fascination and a mystery to all humans regardless of their time in history. What unites all three artists is the search for authentic experiences as an attempt to escape an “uncomfortable” reality. They use their art to express their own individuality and inner conflict, but also to connect with others and express a shared identity. They question stereotypes and conventions while exploring attributes such as gender, sexuality and emotions.

           

‘The Weight of Existence’ from ‘And Then I Remembered’ series by  🖤
‘This series of portraits explores my own connection to the natural world. Women and nature are aligned in a variety of ways from symbolic to material. The concept of connecting women with nature dates back to the times of ancient classical mythology, with several goddesses being strongly connected to the earth, to animals, to different stars and planets.
In this project I look at women and different parts of the experience of being a woman through the rawness of nature. My goal is to show the raw nature of our beauty, of our resilience, endurance, power, gentleness, vulnerability. The project “And Then I Remembered” is about bringing back memories from long time ago, from deep inside women’s DNA, from the times when we were free to worship the forces of nature, sexuality and beauty. It is time to claim our powers back, to accept our sacredness and our important role in this world for the benefit of all beings and Mother Earth.’
