About
Photographer specializing in the process and sensibility of the medium of photography. ✨
A creature, goddess, woman, mother, planet, talisman, or ancient pocket pornography. Venus is a symbol of many forms. We have an idea about a Venus look from historical sources. We imagine her as a small statue or a woman in paintings. There are many forms of this being or visuals of the images we imagine under this word. Venus, which I created, resembled in size the Moravian Venus statue. The object consists of seven glass plates (8x10cm). I applied a photo emulsion on these plates and then exposed them. I used images of the planet Venus from NASA that surround the iconic image of Botticelli's Venus. The object is such a small "altar" to celebrate women. Woman is one big universe.
