Seeking Birth

For this project I was given Mallards wings. It took me through the journey of fecundity, rebirth and reincarnation. The blackbirds coming from a previous life are trying to re-enter an egg, a large duck egg in this instance, just as past souls try to reincarnate in different bodies, different gender or different race. The oval shape of the artwork brings a symbolic reference to the womb of creation. 

My work focuses mostly on the different states of the mind when affected by strong emotions, traumas, visions etc. I find the female energy very powerful with its manifold possibilities; therefore I often express it symbolically or by placing the female figure in the center as a visionary woman. Other times I may choose to portray her in her most fragile and vulnerable moments. I take references from my own photos or I try to access deep emotions and allow them to manifest.
