An untamable, an indomitable, a savage. Feminae Fortis is dedicated to strong women. It depicts a primal force that every woman carries within her, but still too often remains hidden. How do we explore our own sexuality and not let it be determined by others? The woman’s body, directed towards us, is a symbol of tremendous power that opposes oppression and defenselessness. There’s even something demonic about it, because liberated sexuality means strength – and that becomes visible. Respecting your own body, trusting and exploring it, living consciously in it, are the first steps towards a power as depicted in Feminae Fortis. Discovering this strength is one of the greatest gifts in life.
