WINTER SHAMAN
These images explore our forgotten connection to the natural world and ancient wisdom that modern life has left behind.
The photo represents the fierce warrior in winter. I'm perched high in snow-covered branches, embodying that untamed spirit. The primal fur costume against the stark winter landscape creates this beautiful contrast between wildness and vulnerability. I'm choosing to be authentic even when the world is cold.
Holding my goose in the winter landscape with that primal costume creates the contrast. The tender protector within the wild warrior. It speaks to that ancient feminine archetype of being both nurturer and hunter, someone who understands the sacred cycle of life.
The photo conveys the energy of a contemplative huntress. This indoor shot reveals a different side of strength. The wooden structure frames me like ancient architecture, suggesting that true power comes from knowing when to be fierce and when to be still. The intimate lighting tells a story of inner fire.
Artist note:
In a time when we disconnected ourselves from nature's cycles, I wanted to embody the archetype of the wild feminine. Someone who understands both life and death as sacred, who lives in harmony with the seasons rather than fighting them.
The winter setting represents the quiet wisdom that comes from solitude and reflection. The fur costume and the primitive elements aren't about romanticizing the past; it's about remembering skills and instincts we've lost - the ability to read nature's signs, to honor what sustains us, to find strength in our primal selves.
The goose I'm holding represents the cycle of life. Both the nature of the provision and the respect we owe in return. It's about that ancient relationship where taking life was ceremonial, nothing was wasted, and gratitude was part of survival.
These photos ask: What would we be like if we remembered how to be truly wild? Not reckless, but connected to something more profound than screens and schedules.
