Aphrodite Enraptured

Piece description from the artist

This series explores the universal dichotomy between strength and vulnerability; the projections can be interpreted as bruising or as war paint, and the viewer can take part in the ongoing conversation of the role of femininity: mother, child, warrior, victim; bearer of life or harbinger of death.

Her work has been described as a “modernistic take on portraiture with visionary play between shapes and light”.
