Women's Voice

Medusa
When we stand for ourselves,
against violence done to one,
when we raise our voices in silent rooms,
some will name us monsters,
others will not.
And that is part of the dual world we live in.
Each moment, we choose who we wish to be.
And in that choice,
we become sovereign again.
The Story
Medusa’s story was never about a monster.
It was always about a woman burned for a sea god’s sin.
A pawn in an ancient game,
where the Fates never meant for her to win.
Her snakes kept her safe from wandering eyes —
from those who came reaching for
her life,
her body,
her power.
She now holds a garden of stone,
statues raised in silent tribute to their greed.
Medusa’s story was about a priestess.
A goddess.
A maiden who once carried a heart of gold.

One was named a monster.
One was named a saint.
Both were vessels of power.
Woman clothed with the Sun
The name Mary finds its roots in mer —
of the sea.
A tide of emotional currents flowing within us.
A space of healing.
A force of profound transformation.
Through water, this series dives inward —
toward the heart.
Toward joy and sorrow, virtue and love.
Toward compassion for a world in pain.
She is not distant, nor untouched.
She is inhabited by the Sacred Heart —
and that heart is fire.
Across all times, humanity has carried both creation and destruction within it.
This calling is not unique to our era.
It is a reminder —
made urgent by how easily everything is now within reach.
I chose to create this project with Amal Alnabwany.
Her presence is not incidental.
Amal embodies love, resilience, and hope — not as concepts, but as lived experience. She is Syrian, from a land both holy and wounded, where beauty and destruction have long been intertwined.
She carries sorrow — loss, death, and rupture — more intimately than many of us ever will. Yet she has shaped her life into an expression of generosity and grace. Her understanding of emotion, across its full spectrum, is rare — moving with equal depth through light and darkness.
This project is a gesture toward resilience.
Toward peace.

For me, this series beautifully portrays the rage, the blood, the darkness, the guttural presence and power of life in myself as a woman.
In this white Christian culture, we are shamed into fearing and devaluing these elements of femininity.
And yet, with audacious clarity, these elements are claimed and honoured with deep reverence to the whole woman.
The embodiment of the raw and anchored sensuality is both stirring and enriching.
I feel so validated and alive seeing these parts of myself reflected back to me. More please.

Angels of the Sea
Angels of the Sea reveals a quiet, inner power — raw, embodied, and present.
Beneath the surface, silence becomes perceptible. Its presence arrives as an invitation.
Breath is held longer. Effort remains. Hierarchies dissolve.
And then, for a brief moment, the act of doing recedes — allowing attention to settle into what is already there.
Tatiana was not chosen.
She arrived.
My collaboration with Tatiana unfolded organically. What began as a conversation over dinner evolved into a deeper exchange about life, experience, and identity.
My initial idea — rooted in the embodiment of a specific energy — shifted as our dialogue opened onto questions of representation, presence, and visibility.
It became clear that this work needed to expand. Tatiana was not a model chosen to embody a vision — she was the vision.
The project transformed accordingly.
New sketches emerged. A new direction took shape. What mattered most was that she felt seen — not symbolized, not abstracted, but recognized.
When the images and accompanying words came together, that recognition was affirmed.
Seen. Heard. Acknowledged.
This is what we owe one another.
May we continue to see and hear one another more fully.
