Artist Statement:
You are the viewer and the witness, standing with either wall on to your right and to your left representing my previous work, inspired by the initiation of motherhood, the transformation into a new self, a new mythology created with intention to become who I want to be and retain all the parts of myself I have loved forever.
On the middle wall is the “Apparition Of A Goddess” series, another initiation, a breakdown of a vital relationship in a strange land, a great loss of identity and a new restructuring. Strengthened by motherhood, through the mist, the chaos, I started remembering again, more strongly than before, craving the path towards the apparition of the Goddess, reminding me of my life force and therefore the future.
An Apparition – “remarkable appearance of someone or something”.
