Inna with antlers - Femicide Women with Antlers

FEMICIDE

In a mythycal  world, women begin to grow antlers.
Not delicate crowns, but strong, twisting branches — bone and memory rising from the skull. They grow in silence, overnight, in response to fear. Every act of violence adds another point, another curve.

The antlers are not for beauty. They are for protection — against the hands that grab, the eyes that follow, the men who think they can hunt. When danger comes close, the antlers hold their ground.

In myths, horns belonged to gods and beasts; now they belong to women. The wildness once shamed is reborn as armor. The forest begins to shift — not a place to hide, but a place to fight from.

One day, when the violence stops, the antlers might fall away. But until then, women walk tall, sharp silhouettes against the sky — no longer prey.

The Innocents — Artist Statement

The Innocents is a series dedicated to the women who survive femicide—those who walk away with their lives, yet carry wounds that cannot be seen. Each figure is draped in white, a color traditionally associated with purity, renewal, and the fragile hope of beginning again. The white blindfold they wear speaks to the reality so many women face: violence often arrives without warning, hidden behind the familiar walls of home or the faces of those they trust.

The blindfold symbolizes a truth that is both universal and heartbreaking—women rarely see danger coming. Not because they are unaware, but because the threat is too often embedded within their closest relationships, disguised as love, protection, or family.

In painting these women, I aim to transform silence into vision. Their stillness becomes resistance. Their whiteness becomes illumination. Their presence becomes testimony.

The Innocents stands as a tribute to survivors and a reminder that the violence they endure is neither invisible nor inevitable. It is a call to witness, to acknowledge, and to refuse the quiet normalization of harm against women.

Eco-Feminism

Eco-feminism explores the interconnected oppression of women and nature, arguing that patriarchal systems have historically dominated both. One of the most subtle yet powerful tools of this domination is language. The words and metaphors used to describe women often reflect and reinforce societal views that link femininity with nature, emotion, and instinct—traits traditionally devalued in male-dominated cultures. Among the most telling examples of this are the animal metaphors used to describe women, such as “cow” or “goose.” These terms reveal how women’s bodies and identities are objectified and trivialized, mirroring the ways animals and the natural world are exploited for human use.

Nudes & Feminism

In the twentieth century, feminist artists began to challenge this tradition directly. Artists such as Judy Chicago, Hannah Wilke, and Jenny Saville reclaimed the nude female body as a site of strength, subjectivity, and self-expression. Rather than presenting women as passive objects, they used nudity to confront taboos, explore bodily realities, and critique beauty standards. This shift transformed the meaning of the nude from an object of consumption to a statement of identity and autonomy. Contemporary artists continue this work, using photography, performance, and digital media to question how gender, sexuality, and the body are represented in visual culture.

This series explores the complicated relationship between women and smoking, a habit once seen as an emblem of rebellion and glamour. Inspired by the spirit of the 1920s—and by icons like Marlene Dietrich, who made a cigarette look impossibly cool—I wanted to revisit that moment when women claimed new freedoms, even ones that came with a cost.

* Please note: Although several of my paintings depict women smoking, these works are purely artistic expressions and are not intended to glamorize or encourage smoking. I personally quit smoking 18 years ago—one of the best decisions I’ve ever made—and I fully support a smoke-free lifestyle.
