Femme Fatale is a self-portrait distortion series that explores the fragile intersections of femininity, identity, and dissociation through the lens of horror. Inspired by Medusa's myth—a symbol of isolation and misunderstood femininity—the series delves into the untold story of a woman ostracized from society, portraying her not as a mere seductress, but as a figure of tragedy and resilience.
Through abstract, double-exposed imagery, the work captures the anguish and alienation of being unseen and misjudged. Drawing from influences like Tuija Lindström and Cindy Sherman, this series challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface, recognizing the complexity and strength of the "femme fatale." In reclaiming this archetype, I seek to honor the personal struggles of women, transforming the femme fatale into a powerful symbol of survival and triumph.
