SELF INITIATED PROJECT

This project explores the psychological shifts women experienced during the pandemic, examining how isolation, reflection, and societal changes impacted their sense of self. It delves into how post-Covid society, particularly women, turned inward to seek deeper connections.
Focusing on the female body, primarily nude, the work draws inspiration from historical art movements and contemporary artists exploring themes of vulnerability, freedom, and acceptance. Through interviews with women who experienced emotions ranging from loneliness to self-love, the project combines photography, collages, and cutouts, merging Art Nouveau’s organic forms with Malevich’s geometric abstraction.
The final outcome - a book cover and accompanying pages - conveys empowerment and self-reflection, embracing women’s evolving role in post-pandemic art and society. It celebrates the strength and spiritual growth of women while reflecting the pandemic’s impact on female identity.
