So Hot I’m Hurting Your Feelings

A celebration of spring, fertility, rebirth, women's deep strength, but also a reminder of the pain through which we sometimes come to strength. The gradual transformation and finding of one's own strength through movement, transformation, becoming a ritual element, a living maypole, a mandala, an ornament in the field, to the return to the forest where the figure finally emerges in full force, a goddess with deer antlers, wild and untamed Queen of the Forest, a strong and powerful figure in her natural environment.

The character of the Goddess of Warmth/Cordiality/Radiance confronts us with her infectious,

mischievous and possibly dangerous laughter. Heart in the palm of your hand. So cordial, she bleeds rubies.

Laughing Medusa. A powerful feminist figure confronts the current discourse of depictions of the female body and the position of women in society in general. She doesn't seem to give herself away with care and warmth.

I made this work in collaboration with artist and photographer Barbora Trnková.
