The bridge is a leap of the imagination. In my work, Matria, I reimagine a world, a trans-generational coven, that brings together known and unknown women from the past. An imaginary spell is brought up to the present where nature is invoked as the origin of life, acknowledging and bestowing women’s bodies with the Devine value they deserve. Today’s times cry out for a reformulation of thought; Patriarchy and Christianity are falling apart piece by piece.
