Feminine Energy
“A lot of my work leans towards the transformational energies of the ‘feminine’. When patriarchy was at its peak, our rootedness to Earth diverged towards ownership, and wars over lands, waters, and skies. The first abuse of the ‘feminine’ took place when we forgot that the planet we live on was a living feminine entity, and abused it, causing countless environmental hazards. Assaults on the Earth in the form of mining, pollution of water and air continue to happen. And this inappropriate treatment occurs at the physical form of the female, too. It’s entered our society through our homes, and spread farther out. It happens when you’re young, and leaves you scarred for life—a bomb that tears through your mind, and leaves a crater you can never crawl out of. But the most insidious part of the crime starts later. Shock turns to guilt. Guilt to anger. Anger turns to tears. And soon, all that’s left is the shame of knowing that it happened to you. Finally, the reconciliation with the abuse. But should women still have to face it? Has nothing changed? These are the questions that trouble me, at both micro and macro levels. We come from one single womb, share the same single space...how can we despair that?”
