This body of work was inspired by the grace, dignity and charm of Indian women. I was struck with their beautiful bodies, their beautiful fabrics and the jewelry that are a part of every one of them.
The truth is that all women walk a similar path, no matter what the country or the culture. The goal is to tell their story in a global context. This updated version is closer to that reality.
A woman, mother, wife, sister, daughter…
Long days before the evening hours and one is able to go inside one’s self for a quiet moment.
“I am two women: one wants to have all the joy,
passion, and adventure that life can give me.
The other wants to be a slave to routine, to
family life, to the things that can be planned
achieved. I’m a housewife and a prostitute,
both of us living in the same body and doing
battle with each other.
The meeting of these two women is a game with
serious risks. A divine dance. When we meet,
we are two divine energies, two universes
colliding. If the meeting is not carried out
with due reverence, one universe destroys
the other.”
Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes
