PERSPECTIVE

This series focuses on the shift from the male to a female gaze, emphasizing the power of perspective. This is symbolically depicted as a journey from a cocoon to a butterfly. The transformation consists of three phases: trapped, breaking free, and liberated. The cocoon symbolizes the constraints of the sexualizing and objectifying male gaze, as perceived by the photographer. Throughout the series, the subjects in the photos break free from these limitations, symbolizing empowerment and autonomy. The butterfly represents beauty, transformation, and the unimpeded freedom of the female gaze, from the photographer's perspective. The series invites the viewer to perceive the gaze from different perspectives.
