ANIMA x ANIMUS
ANIMA x ANIMUS
ANIMA x ANIMUS is a journey into the uncharted territories of the human soul, guided by Carl Jung's profound insights into the Anima and Animus. Jung's groundbreaking theory, which reveals the Anima as the hidden vessel of a man's feminine essence and the animus as the embodiment of a woman's latent masculine qualities, lays the philosophical bedrock upon which my work is built. These ethereal and profound archetypes transcend the individual psyche, shaping our perceptions, interactions with the opposite sex, and the wellspring of our creative potential. Through the intricate interplay of vibrant color gels, I wield the power to craft a visual narrative that traverses the emotional spectrum, from the profound depths of sadness and solitude to the radiant warmth and grit that emanate from the innermost recesses of the human psyche. Inspired by personal experiences within tumultuous relationships and the soul-stirring melodies of Sade's "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" and "Is It a Crime?", my photo series is a testament to the intricate dance between genders, an ode to the resilience of love, understanding, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery, all within the enigmatic realms of our Anima and Animus.
