Embodiment of YIN, YANG and the energy which combines the two and creates not only new human life, but everything new: the EROTIC. In other words: Nature

Project BLACK MADONNA FOR PRESIDENT/Series SER NATUREZA (BEING NATURE)

Reconciliation with nature happens only when we see ourselves as part of nature. It is necessary that we learn with nature and not about nature. To do this, we learn from the cycles of nature, which are also our cycles. We are fire, water, earth and air. This series is part of my project Black Madonna for President ( www.blackmadonnaforpresident.com) with which I want to encourage women to embody and celebrate both their male and female nature as well as their sexuality. The shooting took place in a Brazilian ecovillage in collaboration with artist and poet Rosane Kerman with her project "Ser Natureza" (Being Nature). She provided the wonderful costumes and we both took care of the ritual.
