What is femininity besides outdated gender stereotypes? To answer this question, I investigated fairy tales, myths, and religions in search of millennia-old universal archetypes. Inspired by the work of C. G. Jung’s disciple Ernst Neumann and his groundbreaking book “The Great Mother” I photographed women as nymphs, sirens, witches, and other feminine figures from the collective unconscious. They are nude because I wanted to avoid any references to a specific social position, culture, or era. I wanted them to look like a product of nature, created directly by the mother earth.
