Holding
Space
Let’s explore the sacred balance between the divine feminine and the divine masculine — the energetic dance that shapes our inner and outer worlds.
For many years, I’ve been fascinated by gender roles and the primal meanings behind them. Circles and soft, organic forms have long represented the feminine in my work — intuitive, nurturing, receptive — while squares and angular geometry express the masculine — focused, grounded, and directional. This visual language has been with me for decades, but recently my insatiable need for knowledge and self-mastery led me deeper.
Through exploring Gnosticism and ancient teachings about polarity, I began to understand more clearly how these energies play out in our society — the divisions between genders, races, and even within ourselves. I realized my art had never stopped expressing this truth; it had been reflecting the human struggle for balance and unity all along.
I call this body of work Holding Space because I believe that as women, we are being called to reclaim and love our own divine feminine essence — to soften, to expand, and, as our primal nature is to nurture, to hold the space for men to rediscover their true divine masculine. In a patriarchal world that has distorted both, we have all been conditioned away from our wholeness. My art seeks to reveal this truth: that both energies must coexist, not in opposition, but in balance, respect, and union.
Each composition becomes an inquiry into that reconciliation — where softness meets structure, where the circle embraces the square, and where the divine feminine and masculine find their way home to one another.
