one hundred percent pure angel (2020-)
I noticed that there are thousands of male photographers portraying women, reproducing their male gaze on women through images. the male gaze is the act of depicting women and the world from a masculine, cisgender, heterosexual perspective that presents and represents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the heterosexual male viewer.
this series is about my female gaze* on men. it is about intimacy, vulnerability and softness; asking questions about femininity and masculinity.

*The female gaze is a feminist theory term representing the gaze of the female spectator, character or director of an artistic work, but more than the gender it is an issue of representing women as subjects having agency. The female gaze is not about banning sex, desire and fantasies, but about showing that these can exist without objectification. It puts men, women and everybody on equal footing.
