‘Horse Girl’ explores the complex and emotional relationship between humans and horses.

‘Horse Girl’ explores the complex and emotional relationship between humans and horses. This project looks at intimate moments of connection and trust between Mariah and her horses, where she almost becomes another limb for them, supporting and connecting. Inspired by classic depictions of cowboy culture and the natural beauty of horses, I was drawn to Mariah as a subject to explore the balance of masculinity and femininity within her. The interaction between Mariah and her five horses is one of deep emotions and fragile connections embodied in an animal that endures so much strength and grace.
